Gotcha.

Not many tires available in this size.



Do your rears look wide in person?

I normally run 235/40's on the front and 275/40's on the rear(Nitto 555r's). They fit REAL nice...



Right now, I've got BFG Comp T/A's(275/40) They stick out a bit, but fit the wheel. Had them on because of the last drag race and just never took them off.

yeah, do look quite tough in person, i dunno why they look so narrow in that pic, think its cuz you can't gauge how tiny the car actually is from that angle. Anyway you could get 275 40 17s, however on a 9in wheel unless its something with a soft sidewall like the 555r i would stick with the 255

agreed...the only 275 tire I'd put on 9 inch rims would be the Nitto. Everything else, I'd try to get a 265
