I have a local guy that is selling some drag radials with the size being 275/40/17. Will these fit on the 17" Eagle alloys that a lot of you have?

So the correct size drag radial for these rims are 275/40/17?
For some reason I thought the size were 390/40/17.

he said 390's (390/40R17) on eagles, but it looks like 390's on pacer rims (same specs as the eagles)...... what's the 275/40/17 size all about ? :dontknow:

There is a guy here locally selling some 275/40/17's drag radials (no rims) at a pretty good price. If they would work on the rims I just bought from Todd, I was going to get them. I am just a nimwit when it comes to tire sizes.
i have both size tires 275 and 390's and have mounted them on the same 17 inch wheel so you will be good:rock:

That is what I am looking for! THANKS!05dodgesrt10 said:
no problem as long as the ones you bought arent on a huge wheel like 12 inch wide your be fine

a 275 requires a 9 inch rim and a 390 requires a 12 inch wheel but most runnin the 390's are on 10 inch wide rims and not 12 inch wide so as long as you have a 17x10 inch rim youll be fine :rock:
They will be VERY short, not even 26" tall, stock is 31.5 and 390/40/17 is 29.5

maybe with 4.10 gears..:dontknow: ..........I am almost at the rev limiter at 116mph in 4th..........assuming going to 5th will kill ets?..

Ya he's got 410s... the short tires put him right at the top of 4th going through the traps

I guess it would work fine for an 04......the 05/06 with 4.56 will probably hit the limit..at least my truck would since I am at the end of 4th with the 390s...

I would only be running a 1/8th mile track. Will the gearing run out on the 1/8th with 4.56?
bringem bud, hell if they dont work well put them on the john deere and run it a couple timesamtrucker22 said:

But to answer your question Amtrucker22, the 275 Drag Radial is really not wide enough to control your torque. I would save your money and just run the 390's you already have.
