So I'm getting ready to buy tires for my 914/6-3.2 and I'm wanting input from you guys. My car is set up to be a race car ONLY and will never see the street again. Sooo this is what it is... I am looking to buy Toyo R-888's 235/40R-17 for the front and 275/40R-17 for the rear. Now I've been told that because my rims are 7.5x17 and 9.75x17 that I should not buy tires with a tread width that is wider than the rim width but both of these tires are wider than their respective rims. Any help/opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks a ton!
