the smallest mm tire to fit a 9" wheel is a 265 though. a 245 is perfect for an 8" wheel. you can go up to 335 in the back, but 315 is enough

i would go with michelin sport pilots, 315 in the back and 265 in the front.

275's only rub in the front if you don't have a tublar k member and coil overs
