well after getting 373's, i needed new tires. saw a post here a little while back regarding tire sive vs. rim size, and heard that 275's were the biggest u should go on a 9" rim, well i beg to differ! i put on some 285/35/18's on my 18x9's, and they kick ass! coming from a friggen 245 its a world of difference.... looks good too.

front is 245, what the back used to look like, while im at it, ill whore some pics since it was a nice night

Ya I guess I can kinda make that out now that I look at it again. You're right the wider tires look a ton better.

Funny thing is, I recently went from Pilot Sport A/S tires to Kumho Ecsta RSX tires on my DD. Even though both were 235/45/17, the difference looks about as dramatic as yours.

I would go with a 295 or maybe something a lil bigger, not the 315s tho,tire out back and a 275 up front. The sole reason I would do this is cause I'm not crazy how a wheel and tire look when they're flat(like even). I want the tire to bulge out a little bit and not only protect the wheel but make it look a lil racier.
