You should go with 275's. They would look a lot better. I think 245's would looked stretched on a 9 inch wheel. JMO

They will stretch a little showing the top of the lip but will fit fine. Just try and get a 275 for your next set of tires for the rear.

I run nitto 245-45-17 on my 17X9 bogarts and they do looked stretched, but its not "that" bad. I would prefer something wider, but I didn't want issues with my ABS since i run 315's out back and I didn't want a 275 up front.

i think what i'll do is keep the 245's on till spring, then buy some 275 d/r's for out back and then go with that. any pics would definetly help though of 245's on 9" rims.

245's will hold for now if you cant swing new ones...You could do 255 or 275 as a "nicer" fit.

It's a "diversion"!!

Whoever it is, is signing the posts differently. He (she) put "RC" on the post about the politics...and now Paul here... I also saw one with "Dustin" on the bottom.

It's gotta be someone who was on here awhile, then left..and now is back.

Anyway...:OT:

I have 255's now on the front of my Rebels...They are a "TAD" too small. 275's will work, but so will 245's if youre in a crunch.

i'm so confused.

Anyway, my 275's on my 17 x 9's seem to be pretty much borderline....use 245's, but start saving for wider rubber

Hey... that's not me! I assure you it's not me. I thought it was RC from the other post.

I guess I'll have to hit up the admins about this!

Who ever it is is pretty tricky... he/she is able to make their signature say different things in different threads...the rest of us can't do that. I just saw the thread with pics of ourselves and it had someone else listed in the sig. OOOOOO.... we have a ghost in here!!!


Rob, speaking of people that you no longer see on here, has anyone seen or heard from Robbie (2L8ULUZ)?

Now that's exactly how low i want my vert to go
but tell me pickardracing
what are "mystery" springs?

I want a 2 inch drop, and I'm having troubles finding springs for a v8 vert that go that far.
