Alright guys trying to address my traction issues now that my car is tuned and am looking into drag radials for better traction. Nothing outrageous just 350whp on a DD dyno with a 2871r setup.

Anyhow my current set up is 17x9 +22 front with 215/45/17 falken rt615 and 17x10+22 with 235/40/17 faken rt615 (I know, I know). I bought them years ago, without really knowing what I was getting.

I like the MT E/T streets, but don't know if 275/40/17 will fit on the back due to the offset of my rims? If they would I would move the 235's up front? Does anybody have any experience with fitting the 275 on a similar spec'd wheel?

Also I am open to any other suggestions/recommendations. I really want to to try and use the rims I have currently. The car is not a my daily, so I am not to concrned with wear. I thought about buying a spare set of rims to mount the drag radials on, but am also concerned with traction on the street.

I also thought about the Nittos in 245/45/17, but don't know if they would be ideal for traction on a 17x10. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.
