Ok, so I have a set of 17x9 2003 cobras that I will putting on my 92 fox with a SN95 and ranger 5 lug conversion. My question is, what size tires should I be running for a daily driver? What size are you running?

I have the same setup with sn95 front spindles and ranger axles. I run 18x9 bullitts with 245/40/18 up front and 18x10 bullitts with 275/35/18 out back with quad removed. My old setup in back with quads in i had 18x9 cobras with 245/40/18 with room to spare. I could have easily fit 255 maybe 265 and ive never had to roll my fenders.

What's the widest and narrowest tire I can fit on a 9" wheel. I was thinking 275 for widest, would 225 work on the narrow end of things????? (17" wheels) I'm currently running 245s on all 4 corners and it works just fine for me, but I want to see what my options are.
