17x11 and 275/40/17

What would it look like? More importantly would a m/t drag radial be better on a 11in wheel or would it be better on a 9.5? I want as much traction as possible but a 315 just doesnt cut it. I am running a 315 bfg drag right now, and im far far away from traction. What is the most possible traction i can get out of a 17? I guess that is my question.

M/T recommends a 9" wide wheel for the 275/40-17 ET Street Radial. Its going to look "stretched" on an 11" wide wheel.

So the m/t is the best traction tire for a 17in wheel?
