nitto makes a 305/60/17 and a 315/35/17 drag tire
Hooiser also has a wide 17" but you need at least a 12-15" wide tire

I have 17" x 9½" with 255/55 17's all around, with a 5/5 drop. I'd run 255/55 up front, with 275/50 17's out back

Hey kevin, mine are 17x9.5's and I run 255/60/17's all around. Your like me and drive these country roads so make sure you dont get a low profile. I could have fit a wider tire in back but I like to rotate mine.

Dunlop sport 5000 tires from discount
