275's in the front... 315 in the rear If you want to spend the extra dough, 335.

Did I read that right? I've not seen anyone run 315's in the front before. Unless you were just saying what would 'actually' fit on that rim size. 275 is probably a good all around size to the max that you would wanna run up front. 315's are good in the back but you can use 335's... they are just gonna be more costly.

yeah it would be a really dumb idea to run 315's up front but theyd fit. I was just saying what would fit without popping off. . .

Eventer - This might help

On a 9 inch rim the 275/40 won't f**k with your speedo. Wider than that may cause problems in rubbing and/or speedo variance.

BTW - Do you live in Kansas City or in Kansas (state)?
