Ray,
Thanks for the ideas on the tires. Perhaps you could widen the rear wheels a bit and go this route. I am going to play a little bit along these lines. I have some rims coming... I once tried to STUFF 275s onto 17 x 8 rims and it didn't work. The tires wanted a minimum of 8.5 and they just wouldn't mount up well. Tire Rack took them back because they made the mistake when I called and asked if they would fit my rims. So nothing lost but time.
Looking to see if I can get my new rear rims widened by an inch....
I'll keep you informed.
