It might fit but that isn't the correct tire size for that rim. Just cause it fits doesn't make it right. 315's fit on a 9.5 but they are not made for a 9.5!

I was told that the Nitto drag radial doesn't come in a 285. If you want the drag radial near that size you have to get either a 275 or a 315. I really wanted a 285 so I had to settle with the Nitto 555 "Extreme". That's just what I heard from the dude at Discount Tire, is he wrong?
