    You should be able to run either size with that rim. They will be about the same height. Those tires are about $300 a piece. Cobra rims a little over $100 and the 275/40 Hoosier is about $200 a tire. It will cost a little more to go that route but not much. I tried the 20 inch drag radial. Believe me, you'll be much happier with the 17's.

    Gotcha.

    Don't expect to get a lot of miles out of the drag radials. I sold mine when I had about 1500 miles on them and the tread was about half gone.

    Actually, the NT05's you're looking at will last longer. I had the other drag radial. I think they were the 555's.

    the nto5s are not drag radials but they are pretty darn close. i know a few people who have them and they like them very well
