Got new 315/35/17s on rear look awesome.Was wondering if my 275/40s will fit on the front. Ive got a 9 inch wheel there. Running a 255/40 now with no rubbin issues.

Yes, 275's will fit on the front. IMO it will look good with the 315's out back. I'm running 245's on my front for another few weeks then I'm going 275 on my fronts also since I'm already running 275's on the back.

I have 275s on the front and want to go alittle smaller because they stick out in the front. They don't stick out alot or anything but it is just enough to bother me. I would like to put a 255 on the front.

Also, my 275 do rub when I am backing up and turn the wheel all the way.

275s are a great fitting tire on a 9" rim and you should have no problems. In fact the 275s and 315s are the same diameter so they compliment each other well.

My 275s do stick out a bit on the front end but it doesn't bother me. The 255/40s I had on were perfectly flush.
