A 335 tire yes, only if there is enough power. My 275 tire is plenty. I had deep dish bulllit wheel. 17x10.5, with 315/35/17 bfg drag radials. Too much tire. I run quicker times and shorter 60 foots with a 275/35/18. Also my lap times for solo autocross are quicker.

A friend is tryin to sell me a set of wheels that are 275 40 17 that's on his v8 rx7 and he says there the same bolt pattern. There brand new riken tires and seem to hook pretty good. Do you kno much bout them and if they would hook hard on a fairly mild 5.0 with a 3.73?

Your friends wheels are probably 17x9. Never heard of that brand. If he's running a v8 in a rx-7, chances are its an ls1. So you should do fine hooking up. Just make sure tires are in good condition. I.e. tread wear, uneven tread wear, feathering, dry rotting, flat spots.
