try 275's for starters. You may even be able to get away with a 295's or larger but 275s will look sick.

i would stick with a 275/35/18.

u could put 315 on the back, but u would be better with 275 or 285's.

Dont think a 315 will fit on a 9" rim

What is the biggest you can put on a by 9 rim,
I got 17x9s and was told that 285/40/17 wouldn't fit...?
anyone?

A 285 will fit just fine. I have 275's on my 18 x 9's and they are flush with the lip
