I would go with MT 275/17's listed below, since the stokers are like 8" wide. Many run them with no issues on the stock rim. Here's some info for you from an old post of mine...

Thanks for the info, I am looking to put this tire on a 17x9 rim, think it will fit? I used to run the 295's on the stock 17x8's so I imagine they will fit...

i run the 275 Mickeys on the stock "fan blade" 17 x 8's and Though the car looks funny with them they hook up well in a 5 speed and stock gears.

I'm running the MT ET Streets 275/40R17 when I'm at the track. I have them mounted on the 17" Split Spoke (Concept) wheels and with the GT500 fronts, they look odd.

 

[BLKS197]

Does anyone have a picture of 275/40/17 Mickey Thompson's on the 17 inch bullitt

 

[69Mach1-409]

Not the bullett's, but they're the same size rims.
