David, I have set of 17's from my car that I am done with....JG says they have 2 events left in them... $75... to atleast pay for the mount/balance of the new set?

I can bring the to TWS if need be.

They are way worth $75.

Please bring them. I want to put them on Amber's car since it came with 17" rims... Thanks so much

Just curious but didn't Amber's car have the stock 17X8's on it? I know a 275 will fit on the 8" wheel but am not sure about performance and life expectancy.
Maybe someone with a little more knowledge will chime in. :wink:

I run toyos 275s on mustang bullit 17x8 without a problem.

I know they fit better on 17x9s, but the bullit wheels are cheap cheap

David,

Be sure to consider that while they may/will fit on a 17x8 rim, they may be and most likely will be hard to mount. Just a thought when you try to get them mounted at the track or in a hurry somewhere in College Station.

I have mine mounted at Mann's Tires in Tomball... Might send some one back to town and get them mounted... they mounted 255/50/16s on Ambers 16x7s with no problem, anyway just thought I would give it a shot... If they don't work on her car I'll by some much need 17s for the AI car... Thanks for the advice and for bringing the fender roller back, sorry I wasn't home I was at Mann's with Amber getting some bling-bling 20s on her Scion

Just running them in Racecraft and DE with Jason, so I'm only mildly concerned about life expectancy... Thanks for the advice... that reminds me I need new brake lines for her car.... :shock:
