does anyone make 17" perf tires with ~ 28" diameter?

[phonedude_mln]

I've cruised several of the online tire sites, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something.
I'm looking for 215-225 f and 245-265 r.

TIA.

The tallest tires I could find were in Summit mag.(Riken's) 255/50/17=27.1.Ran these just recently at the Big Bend Open Road Race at speeds of 140 for 120 miles.They did just fine.

they have 225/55-17 and 255/55-17. not quite even, but would be ok I guess.

falken and nitto both make 295-50-17 and 255-50-17

[phonedude_mln]

I found a 275/50-17 and 255/50-17, but not a 295/50-17.

275/50-17 is probably big enough for what I can fit.

thanks.

go directly to the falken and nitto websites. most places disc tire, tirerack, etc dont show the but can get them

Not sure about street handling though...


EDIT, sorry just re-read and see that you're looking for 245-265 in the back.

I have not been able to locate a fat 17" perfofmance tire 27" or 28" tall for the rear of my 68 Camaro either. I could fit a 345 with no problem due to deep tubs but all I can find is donut size 25" or 26" tall tires. My goal is to fill up the wheel well with a tucked tire. The best I can come up with is a 335/35/17 at 26.2" dia. It is wide enough but I am still worried there will be a pretty good gap between the top of the tire and the fender lip. I do not see anything in 18 inch either and I don't want a drag radial. Several tires sizes that I think would work have been discontinued. This is really frustrating.

I am in the same boat. I have room to go a lot wider but do not want to go to a rim that is bigger than 17". I will follow this post and see what other people have done.

M&H Drag Radial 390 / 40 - 17 [29.5" x 14.8") or 325 / 45 - 17 [28" x 12.1"]; diameter x section width.

Not sure if they meet your objectives though.
