Looking at using the bfgoodrich g-force KDW2; however, the largest I can find in 17" are 255/40. If I go with this tire, I would most likely end up running a 215/45/17 on the front and a 255/40/17 on the rear. I am concerned if these will appear "small" (even though I will be using 17" wheels). What suggestions / comments do you have?
Another option I am considering are the goodyear eagle F1GS-3 These I can get in the size I would like 315/35/17 rear and 275/40/17. Comments?
Thanks in advance.

I have 315/35/17 on the back of my cobra. They look bad to the bone. IMO I couldn't imagine any narrower of a tire on the back. I have 11x17 rims with 4" backspacing with IRS. 8-) Darren
I am runnig 315-35-17 rears and 245-45-17 front on vintage brm knock offs tires are sumitomo's great tires for the money the 315's are about $100 each from tire rack

Given the high power and low weight of these cars, their performance is generally traction limited. I think you're likely to be disappointed with the amount of throttle you can use with 255's in the rear. Just my $0.02.
