9" and 315s?

htownv6 · 03-10-2008, 04:58 AM

kinda strapped for cash right now and looking into a better deal for 2 315's than ive seen for 2 275's so could i make them work?

01FR500 · 03-10-2008, 06:26 AM

Are you looking for tires to put on a 9" rim? I can't make sense of your post.

htownv6 · 03-10-2008, 07:07 AM

yes sorry... i have 275s on all 4 now but im pretty sure ive been told a 315 in the back is do-able

You can't put a 315 tire on a 9" rim. You need a wider rear rim. 275 is about the widest you can go on a 9" rim.

SLP02GT · 03-10-2008, 02:43 PM

you can get a 285 max on a 9" rim

zigzagg321 · 03-10-2008, 03:21 PM

like r3d sed... NO. I am surprised at how many ppl ask this very same question.

Gotta raise the flag.... I know for a fact that 315 nittos will fit on a stock 03 cobra 9" wheel. However take into consideration the nittos are about as wide as a 295 BFG ...

like we have said....NO. just cause a tire will "fit" doesnt mean its the right size for the rim. this is a safety issue.

Zaff03GT · 03-31-2008, 05:49 PM

theres no way that tire will fit on a 9 inch rim. Those rims are 10.5 and they just fit!

hell why not, go for it, send us a pic of it too, i bet the whole wheel/tire combo would look like a butthole. lol

Not to say that it hasn't been done, but honestly I'd never do it in a million years. It's just too much stress on the sidewall to be stretched that far.

Why don't you just get some 255's or 265's and put them on the front? I for one can't stand how 275's feel on the front, they just pull too hard through all of the dips & cracks in the road.

Putting 315's on a 9" is like a 350 lb woman wearing spandex.

zigzagg321 · 03-31-2008, 07:33 PM

Dont be this asshat....

01FR500 · 03-31-2008, 09:23 PM

Haha, there is a guy that runs at the soloII events here and his tire/rim combo is almost that bad on his miata. 195 streched wide over proably a 7 or 8 inch wide rim. Except the OP wants to put super wide tires on a 9" rim.
