i have a 285 on my 18x9, it fits fine, there is a little tire roll when cornering HARD but other than that its fine. i could have fit a 300 or 310 on there with a lot of bulge
Hmm interesting about the nittos. I knew they ran narrow but not so much as putting a 315 on a 9" wheel. Just planning ahead for what tires I want to put on. I'm getting a set of 18's even if they don't get put on the car this year. I might wait until It gets new paint before I actually put the new wheels on when I do get them
Just for reference, I had Sumitomo 315's on a 10.5" wheel on my '95, and they had a slight bulge. I'd be interested to see how much of a bulge those nittos have on a 9" wheel.
I run 315 Nitto's on my 10.5" rims now and they sit pretty flush with the rim on the wheel so I know they could be on a more narrow tire. Not even sure I would put nitto's on the new wheel just trying to figure out how wide I can go for the most part. Was thinking of going with some BF Goodrich DR's for something different.
Depends on the brand to be honest. I have 17x9's in front and I was running a 275 from Sumitoto and it sat flush and put a set of Michelin Pilots that are 285 and it bulges too much for me.
a little buldge looks good, i have 315s on a 10 inch rim look awsome, but they probably would be as wide as a 295 on the same rim because it sucks the tire in
