Widest tire I can fit on a 17x9..... Reply #15 – January 21, 2008, 11:18:26 AM Yeah, I heard of a couple guys doing that, but if you ask me, a 315 on a 9" wheel is gonna look kinda goofy Quote Selected

Reply #16 – January 21, 2008, 06:08:59 PM Quote from: vinnietbird;199073I have 245's on the front.I want more in the back.With the 255's I have,I can break those loose really easy.With the new heads and cam going on in a few days,I'm HOPING to see about 35-40 horsepower,and more torque.I really don't want my tires very much taller,but an extra inch in width would be nice.
