this topic seems to come up a million times in a day... BUT, i would LOVE to see a pic of some 315s on 9 inch wheels. pics should settle the "omg dont do it...no do it, not much bulge" dispute lol.

I was gonna get 10.5 inch rims too for 315's but now I am going to get those Nitto's (American Muscle has them + the discount) so they will go on my Cobra's and I can use the rim money for something else.

Don't do it.
Don't do it.
I have 10" rear wheels and was thinking of getting 315's and that would be max. If I had 10.5" then I could go 335's. I wanted 315's for regular tires for handling. If I went 305 I would get DR's.
On a 9" rim I would say your topped out at 295's for proper tread/road traction, but 275 is a nice size. If you put an oversized tire on your rim, the traction goes down because your tire will look like a rainbow when inflated properly....lol You will wear the center out or the sidewall out depending on how much air you run. You will never find a happy middle with an oversized or even an undersized tire!
