17 inch tires
I threw this question out on the Unique forum, and even asked the good folks at Unique, but got little useable info so I'll try here. I've decided to go with 17" wheels on my build and I'm getting close to the drop-dead date for providing said wheels and tires to the builder. I can get my prefered wheel in a 11" width if needed, but I'm not sure how much tire I can cram under the rear wheel wells. There seems to be a big dead spot in tire sizes between 275 and 315mm. I need all the tire I can get to hook up a 418W but I don't want rubbing or protruding. The standard wheel is 17x9.5 and I would prefer to use that as the 11" barrels will delay things. Having said all that, please chime in with any advice you can give me. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I tried to do a search here but the the search engine didn't like the word "17". Go figure.
