Damn dude, 245s on a 9"??? I wouldn't go under 255. And 295s on a 10" are the nicest.

On a 9" rim go with 275mm wide tires, on a 10" tire go with something around 295-305.

You know, I could be thinking of my old sixer. I'll have to check on that later. I'm a little out of it today, on those shi--y cold meds that mess you up.

Ok never really got an answer I wanted so ill try something a little different, 18x9 rims I will probably be putting 265/35 on the front and was thinking about 285/35 or 285/40 on the back. would 265/35 be to big on the front or should I try 255/35, as for the back would 285 be to big for a 9'' rim ??????? Should i even consider 265/35 all around. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

265 up front (you can run a 275 up front too) with a 285 or even a 295 would be fine on the back. Or you can run 275's all the way around. Me I like the staggered small meats up front and big meats out back. Though I only have 275's as "big" meats on the back.

i'm running staggered on mine. 8.5 with 245's in the front and 9.5 with 275's in the back on 18's

E-Rod 12-15-2008 03:35 PM

Ok if I did run 275 on the front would it have to be 275/35 or can I put 275/40 (just worried about rubbing) and for the back 285/35 would that be strong enough or would I need 285/40 ????????? Thanks

Tire needs to be close to if not the same total tire height as the stock tires height.

E-Rod 12-16-2008 01:32 PM

?????? not sure I understand but I hvae on 245/45/17 now I believe that was the stock size but not 100% sure just bought the car about 2months ago.
