The widest tire you can safelyput on a 9 inch rim is a275. The correct size is 275/40/18, I don't think anyone makes a 275/45/18, at least according tothis tire calculatorlink. http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp
To go to a 285 you need9.5 inch rims in back.

I set my car is set up for road race not drag race (see sig for mods), so I went with 255/45/18's all around.

Your stance looks awesome. I need that stance with my 295's.
