I love my 3.73's...

For a 9" tire, 275/40/17 would be the best fit

many sizes would technically fit.. But they wouldn't look right.. They would be either stretched or too tight, or have too much sidewall or too less...

For a 9", that's the size you want. Maybe a 265/40/17?

4.10's in my auto. I'm getting 300 miles a tank, city, and hwy. Wish i had 4.30's or 4.56's. Power adder still a few months away. Easy on the gas pedal and you'll still get great mileage....

No tuner yet, GPS hard wired into elect. system- to keep track of MPH. tuner is on short list to buy though.. You won't regret 4.10's or higher.
