Lower control arms with adjustable spring perch and the right backspacing, 275/40/r17s no problem.

275/50/r15 have less outside diameter than a 40/17, i think.. they should fit.

This guy does. With SN95 axles, the fender lip needed a bit massaging, though.

Heres a guy with 315s in the rear of a fox, 46mm back space for sn95 axles and 23mm for fox axles on 10 inches wheels

Do you know what back spacing you guys with sn95 axles are running on 9(?) inch rims.
