    Is there any BFgoodrich drag radials that will fit the 17*8 rim size?

    Not that I know of. You could run a Nitto DR 275/40/17 though.

    Will they roll off the rim during hard corners? I like to zip around corners too ;)

    The Nitto's bulge slightly. I wouldn't worry about anything. I've run em hard on my stock tires with no issues at all.

    I just had 295/35/18 BFG DR's put on my Cobra R's....NICE. Mean looking and they stick like nobody's business. I can pull redline in 1st gear from a 5mph role with no tire spin. :D First time I ever got to really see what my car can do. I smiled for 3 days after that. :nice:
