They'll fit fine. Had them on my local club's Charger R/T wheels which are a lot narrower than 9". I'm not keen on the 555R's but if you heat them up pretty good they're better than nothing.

I was kinda worried about the offset on my cobra wheels. I have MT's on the way. I hate that feeling when something doesn't fit!
Thanks!
Thanks!

MT traction is similar to M&H, and MT sizes are actually correct 
. I have M&H 325 45 17 on the rear of my Dakota, and they look like 275 MT.

I've heard good things about their 20" DR's. Might be my next rear tire for the street. TBD.

MT makes a very good Drag Radial, but as with any tire with great traction, they don't last long.

Neither do my NT05's. I could use a bit more traction and besides...I'm curious.

Well, I was going to get nittos and a 20+ year veteran of drag racing said he tried nittos and felt the MH and MT's hooked up better. He advised me to go with the MT's. I figured I'd give it a try since everyone else mostly does nittos with the LX's. And who knows, maybe nittos are better with these cars. I'm old school so I went with the MT's. Stay tuned because if the seller on eBay won't take them back I'll be selling them if they don't fit.

I have the 305x35x20 nitto 555rs and I love them on the street but couldn't get them to hook at the track so I swap for slicks at the track Problem solved.

They fit perfectly! Whew! Thought I was gonna have a problem there. They won't even let me snag second gear! Nothing but grip.

Running MT 315/35/17 - nothing but deadhook but you do have to heat them up good. I can't imagine ever needing slicks unless I really go carzy on the build. 1.60 60ft, repeated many times at VMP.

Well I put about 20 miles on them today, even with 375rwhp, I could not break traction, not even snag second gear. They just stick! I could barely turn them dry on a burnout. Will definitely need a burnout box.

I've heard good things about the 20" M/T's for the street for high HP cars. Let us know how they do you at the track.
Best of luck.

My son in law wants to go there. Won't be this weekend. Unfortunately I work most weekends. But it will be soon.
