Yes, the M&H 325/45-17 will fit a 17x9 wheel. They are not a true 325. They are about 28" dia, with a 10" tread width and a 12" section width (roughly the same as my 275/50-17 Nittos). My 17x9 bullitts have a 45mm offset, so they will be perfect.

I'll be using the same 17x9 wheels I have had for the past 25,000 miles, so the swaybar won't be an issue.

Yeah, the 555Rs are a good compromise. Most of the modded guys around here are running those. I just wasn't thinking of them as a true drag radial, but I guess they are.
Those were the ones I was actually leaning towards. Or the BFG drag radials. Both of those may have a little more grip on moist pavement than the M/T slicks-type tire. Thanks for the opinions, everybody!

The Nittos 555r's are not bad in the rain at all and they last but they dont hook that great (got to heat-em up). The BFGs hook great but dont last and get much more scary in the rain. I run 305/45/18 555r's on my stock rim (9.5 inch) because there are soo few 18inch DR choices out right now. MT has a bunch of 18 inch DR options coming out in a few months FYI. You will be fine with 555r's.
