Well it still comes down to the rubber on those wheels, but i am running 18x9 all around and will soon correct that with 18x10 on the rear. Just do it right so you don't have to do re does like i have been. Reselling on ebay sux!

a 295 will fit but the rear will look a little fatter in the tire width, but with that bog of tire on that 9 inch rim you will not be using all the rubber that is on the tire. some of the tread will slide down to the side of the sidewall

yes. with a 9 the biggest you can prob go is maybe 285, but 275 is more practical. but i did see a mustnag with 9s all around with 275 all around, and it did look pretty good. but there is really no reason to spend that much more money for a front tire. the bigger the front tire the easier it is to hydro in the rain.
