I have 255's out back,and they're prety wide.I really want to see 275's.I may need a set of those when I'm done with the engine.I'll be tearing the rear tires up the day I tighten the last bolt under the hood.

Don't mean to steal your thunder, but here's a pic of my 87 TC with 275/40/17 M/T DR's on the back.  They fit and look great.

They were blems (double-stamped MT logos), got em for $300 mounted/balanced.  I think they sell on Summit for $185 each.  I'm very happy with their performance as well.

I think I could actually fit 315's in back.  M/T makes a 315/35/17 drag radial that I've been drooling over for a while now...
