You can fit a Nitto 315 DR, but I'm not a big fan of how it looks. They don't bulge horribly, but they definitely do still bulge. 275 is the recommended size for a 9 inch rim. Any more and even if you can fit it, it's not going to look as good, and the little bit of extra width you get isn't going to really do anything for grip. The Nitto 275 DRs are just about perfect for our cars until you really start putting power down. Plus, they aren't too aggressive of a DR that you can't street drive them. One of these days I really need to get my friend to get me a pair.

Everything counts.

I can't wait to see the difference between the 245s i have now and the 275s i'm putting on. 1.2" wider each tire = 2.4" more rubber to the ground. That's a lot.

I just put Nitto 305/35-18 555R'son the rear on 10.5 Saleen 5 spokes on my 03 Cobra. With the IRS fully extended the tire is about 1/16" away from a suspension bolt discussed earlier in this thread.With the car is on the ground, no problems.
