Default Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials

Hi All

Has anyone fitted M/T ET Street Radials 275/40/17 on standard 8 inch rims and did they clear the wheel well and quarter lip? On the M/T web site they recommend 9 to 11 inch rims, but I would like to maintain the standard appearance.

Cheers
Terry

Thanks Craig, I ran it again last night with the MT's on a set of 17x9in rims, it ran 12.373 with a 1.816 60', getting there, my target is somewhere into the high 11's. I think the fuel system need some $$$'s spent on it.
