modded232 · February 5th, 2008, 06:28 PM

I would have said 275s, I don't think 315s would even fit, would they?

245 is probably the skinniest for a safe road worthy 9" rim. 275 is common for rear, but you could put a 315mm tire out back, but it will be about 3" wider than the rim is... i would go with a 275 or a 305 tops.

ya on a 9" rim they would have to be nittos. the 315 nitto drags are narrower and can fit 9" wide rims. the termi guys do it all the time

what profile would i go wit on da 275 tires to match my 245 45's in da front

GreenFaleen · February 5th, 2008, 08:37 PM

245 45 up front
then 275 45 in back 45 is your height (profile)

MustangMo · February 5th, 2008, 08:41 PM

i thought it is a different hieght if the tire is wider, someone told me that the profile number is a % of the width.

you are correct. go with a 40% sidewall height to a 275mm width

MustangMo · February 5th, 2008, 09:17 PM

so that will match my 245 45's in da front

AtlanticBlue99 · February 5th, 2008, 09:19 PM

do the math:

.45*245=110.25mm
.40*275=110.00mm

.25mm is negligible on a total height of 2*110+wheel height in mm

AtlanticBlue99 · February 5th, 2008, 09:22 PM

e.g. 17"=431.79999999999995mm

so 431.79999999999995+220=651.8mm as opposed to 652.05mm.

thats a difference of 0.00984251968503937"

(1 psi tire pressure can account for a greater difference than that)

I suck at math lol

AtlanticBlue99 · February 5th, 2008, 09:30 PM

haha, well thats what im here for! i love math, especially if it has practical uses...

Yes the do. For some reason on another the nitto555 315s seem a little "smaller". Aren't the nittos more friendly too(water/treadwear)? I'm not sure on that one.

AtlanticBlue99 · February 5th, 2008, 11:36 PM

well on about 2 dozen track passes and 4k miles, my bfg's were garbage
