If you are considering this.... please, please PLEASE don't do such a thing!

This is a VERY poor fit, will give you large amounts of sidewall bulge and tire WILL fail over time. This is also a complete waste of a 315.

Check out It's OK to run oversized tires ---> and see what I mean

well isn't a 315 nitto 555 a smaller 315?

Nitto 555r drag radials do run small. You could squeeze a 315 Nitto dr on a 9" rim, but i wouldn't do it.

Nitto's do run a bit "thin", but still too large for a 9" wheel. You "may" consider them for a 10" wheel, but still don't recommend it.

Wheels are cheap and incorrectly fitted tires can be dangerous and wear poorly. Not to mention that they don't hold as they should do to sidewall fitment issues.
