So is anyone running these tires yet?  I am interested in the sidewall height they offer on a 17" wheel.

They are advertised at 27.2" tall.  I think you are looking at the wrong tire there, it is in the lower group of tires on the page.

I thought they said 28" tall.  That would be a 5.5" tall sidewall with a 17" rim.

That is what I am referring to.  I want to see what a 5" sidewall looks like on a 17" wheel in an E-body well.

Not an E-body, but these are  275-50-17 on 17x9.5 wheels. They are 28" tall.

Here's an E-body with 275-50-17s. Not the exact size you're looking for, but it is 5.5" sidewall on a 17" wheel.
