I was asking about the stock tire on a 9" wheel because I wanted to sell my stock Bullitts and get the black bullitts from mustangtuning.com with the stock tire for now until they wear out.

Ye's they'll fit on the back.

I have 275/40's on the back and I'm about to put some 265/40's on the front.

No it will be fine. I have 275/40/17 up front and the car is lowered 1 3/4" no probs at all with turning. You can still full lock without rubbing.

Mine rub slightly at full lock sometimes. I would recommend something a little narrower for the front and something a little wider for the back.
