J 17 is a 17" wheel, pretty sure 3.60 dot is the width of the rim so a 2.50 dot would be a no go surely ? I'm willing to be corrected but that's how I see it.

I think that DOT mans Departament of transports (of US) and is a homolagation to sell any vehicle in Unite States. Some American import cars with DOT homologation and without CE must replace the tires to drive in Europe.
