Clearance wise there could be enough room... not saying it is possible or impossible. There is more room.

Mike have you been to the drag strip with them yet? What's your (new) 60' time? I'm looking for something similar for next summer.

it seems like theyre sticking out alot but theyre not that wide you know? like it seems like if theyre alittle further in then you could fit a wider tire

[SICKSPD]

i think im lookin at buying the same tires youve got but youve got the 275 and im interested in the 295, would the difference of 20 still fit on the same 17 x 9" wheel?

I have seen two tenths improvement in 60 ft on our hot greasy track. It has more in it, but right now I am fighting te ESP more than anything.

They really aren't sticking out that much at all, actually. Not sure if I could have reduced the offset by a half inch and still cleared the sway bar or not honestly.

FWIW, I just got a set of 17x8 Soft 8's and they weigh 33 lbs on my scale. I'll probably return them and get a set of American Racing Razors.
