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:

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

what the hell are you talking about... factory tires are 245's... people run 255's without rubbing just as long as your not dropped too much...

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.

i have a 255 but the tire itself is a cheater and its actually a 275. yes it rubs. But looks so manly from the back...in a car way.

yeah but whats the point of running a wider rim if ur only going to throw on a smaller tire... that was always my understanding

<--- 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

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?

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
