yeah i saw those but they dont really give me the angle im looking for
I have 275's right now and they bulge a little(sumitomos), and I want them to be more flush with the wheel.
I know nittos run small, but I dont want the rim to be further out than the tire....so on that note post up pics of 275/40's on 17x9's as well if anyone has em(and i did look at american muscle for that size too, i just wanna see more)....thanks again

My brother has 275 nitto 555's on his 8.5 in rim and they barly bulge so you will be totally fine with a 255 on a 9in rim. You realistically can put like a 295 on a 9 in rim.

No.... you cannot install a 295 street tire on a 9" wheel and have a proper fit

PS. I will not be back to debate this issue, because ANYONE that says you can do it.... is WRONG, period
