I wouldn't do that. Mine are on 11.5s and they look perfect. I can't imagine trying to sqeeze them onto 9s. You'd be running on nothing but the inside of the tire and the sidewall bulge would look

I've seen 315s on 9.5" wheels and that looked pretty over done. I think it would look pretty silly on a 9" wheel. A 285 is about as big as I'd go for a 9" wheel. 295 might be decent on a 9", and would look good on a 9.5" wheel.

Ive got 315s on 17x9.5 Chrome Z06s and looks bad ***. Makes it look like there are some big tires on the back. Bulge is not very big, i have 285s on the front and the lip of the rim is flush with the sidewall to the actual tread but the rear bulges maybe 1/2 inch to an 1 inch and looks sweet. Ill see if i can get some pics up. Just my .02 cents. JP
