what is the biggest 17" tire to fit s197?
I have a set of 17X9 Cobra R rims with 275/40/17 drag radials that fit without mods. They look small and I want to go taller without modifications. Has anyone installed 295's or 305's?

i`ll never lower my car. these tires have been fine, other than with a taller tire i lost a little gear ratio. ive about burned the rear off and i`m getting ready to order a couple tires myself. i`m actually thinking about going with 2 more wheels and 2 more 255/50`s like i have on the frt. the tire height will be correct, so i`ll have my full 3.73 back and i can rotate them. then i`ll decide to either get another taller set,or use those 9" rear wheels for some drag tires. now i`m caught up since i went staggered. the 255/50 would look really sweet on 9" wheels though. the tire sizes has been a pain, between what brands and offered sizes

17X9 all the way around. I got 4:10 gears. Im using stock 235's now. Running a taller tire would help. I need to get about a 27-28" tall tire and 10" wide and sticky!
