[QUOTE="paluka21, post: 15605145, member: 20747"] Agreed. The Nitto drag radials do run on the narrow side compared to a Michelin, Toyo, or most other tire brands. I've seen guys run the 305/315 Nitto drag radials on the stock 9.5" Shelby wheels with success, albeit with a bit more sidewall bulge. Try to fit a Michelin MPSS 305 on a stock wheel, it would swallow it. As Robert M suggested, widening the wheels to get the width you want from the wheel, tire, and contact patch is a good alternative. I followed suit from many of the Alcoa guys and had mine widened so I could run wider meat in the rear without trying to fit a wider tire on a narrow wheel. [/QUOTE]
