I'm looking for white raised letter tires. I'm also getting some torquestars in the very near future. I'm just lookin'around at tires for when they need some new sneakers for them when the time comes (hopefully after winter..).. they've got tires with about 15-20% on them if i recall correctly.
I've seen bonnes' on 20'* but I never reallyfigured to look at the numbers on the tires.

1.7% is pretty negligible. If you really want to correct it, go out and do a bunch of burnouts to wear off a few 32nds of an inch, then you'll be all good to go!
Seriously, at 55 MPH on your speedo, you'll be doing 55.935. At 100 MPH on your speedo, you'll be doing 101.7 MPH. Just don't worry about it.
I saw a Bonneville the other day with that size tire on it and it looked great. Made me want to go out and get some!
Go for it!
