The Nitto's will work on the stock 9" rims but don't go with any other companies 315! Almost all the 03 Cobra guys are going to 315 Nitto's as they have proven to hook better without any problems.

P275/40 R17 93V -- 6.3 - 25.63 -- 10.91 - 9.0-(9.5)-11.0 -- 1433@44 -- 811
315/35 R17 102V -- 6.3-- 25.79 -- 12.13 -- (10.5)-12.0 -- 1874@44 -- 806
I'll take the expertise of the tire manufacturer over that of the Cobra guys any day of the week. Put the proper size tire on the proper size rim to get the best performance. If you want a 315, then put it on a 11" rim and Then you'll see the proper performance potential of a 315.
