Thoughts on 275-40-17 Nitto 555R's

IMO 275's are a bit much for an 8" wheel, even in the slightly narrower than normal Nitto's. My dad put 275's on his stock 00 GT wheels and they fit....barely. They bulged quite a bit, and I'm sure the wacked out sidewall didnt help handling too much.

I say stick with 245's and save a couple bucks.

Its not always about width too, as far as traction goes. My 255/50/16 BFG's hook much better than my 315 Nitto's, as the thin sidewall on the 315's doesnt absorb launches very well, in my experience.
 
Here you go, GET 315'S FOR SURE. Your rims are .5 in wider than mine and I have them.
