I know i have posted alot but i am buying my rims tmw and should have them sometime this week.They are 17/9 cobra R rims. I was thinking about running a 255/45 tire all the way around..Are should I go 265/40 all the way around. I think 245/45 tires will be to small..

on 9" rim, go with 275. 275/40/17 are too cheap not to do it. Oh i hope you get this befor you order!!

I have 17x9 cobra r's with 255/45 Kumho's looks good, the tires are flush
to the rims, no bulge, but you could go bigger, but the 255/45 wear and
rotate well. If you like to rotate your tires front to back I would stick with
the 255's.

booooooooooooooooooooooo. if you just went with the 245 tire, you should have just bought some bullit wheels. would have improved the looks, gave you a wider tire, and been cheaper, but he if you have the money you can upgrade to bigger tires.
