are you gonna mount them on those enkeis?

 

Nice!! What size did you get?

 

Naw, they won't fit on the 17x8" enkei's, I got some 17x9" enkei's for the wider tires.

275/40/17

Nice, I'm quite jealous.

Seeing your from Toronto, do you ever run Dunnville? I was thinking of giving a track day a shot this year.

Also,
OMGWTF how are you gonna put 275s on a 9" they are gonna bulge like whoa you should be stretching a 195/45 on them for quicker "feel" lol.

 

Last year I went to Dunnville quite often since there is a track day every weekend compared to the other tracks which aren't so often. Even went on the Onyx BBQ day with all the Americans, was pretty cool

Hoosier recommends a 9-11" inch rim for the 275/40/17 so it should be fine. Hoosier's have a hardened sidewall so they take less rim without issue. Here is what my 245/40/17's looked like on my 17x8" rims...

The 245's look nice, but personally, I would've opted for the 8.5" if it was available to me.

 

Yah but I got the rims so cheap its hard to refuse.
