Default Tire sizing...9" rim

Remind me what sized work on a 9" rim.

Currently I have 235's on the 9" on the back of my car, so let's start there, since they're kinda streched...so 235 up to what? 255? 65? 75?

255's will be nice, but u can run a 275 according to falknes website:
http://www.falkentire.com/rt615_sizes.html


the 255 will have fewer rubbing issues and will fit the rim nicer...what offsets are your rims?

I run a 255 on a 17x9+63 and have never rubbed on those (stock height). When I had a 275, it did rub on big bumps, but I'm going to roll the fenders so I can do 275 again.

235 are too skinny.

&lt;--- not a stunna...

haha 48 offset... far from it...

or if they have a widebody kit that allows them to put on like 295's on a 20 offset... there tires have more beef than a cattle ranch

anything over 9.5" is an overkill IMO, especially if you are not running the proper sized rubber whats the point?

9" is perfect for an S.

245-265

235/40/17 is perfect...I went to a 235/45/17 and had to cut more of my bumper off to make it work.

BUT

I'm talking about a 17x9 +45 wheel.

SO, let's talk about it...255? or

If its 17x9 +45 for the rear you can run a 255 tire but gonna have to roll your fenders I've seen this set-up w/o rolled fenders but he was running max camber and i think it barely cleared

whats the offset? I can tell you what will or will not rub with your 9" set up. Guaranteed

even if your not rolled or are rolled, stock camber or modified camber, heighth, and relocation of rr bumper tab, I can tell wat you'll need to make it fit
