you can put them on the ifrehawk but theyre gonna butterfly. i dont think you whould put them cause ur not gonna use the entire tire. i would just buy the 11's for the back. i have 315's on the 11's prolly the best fitting tire for it. but go ahead and try it. just my opinion. see how you like it

on the stock wheel a 285 is the widest, and a 275 is recommended.

if you want to run a 315 get a 10.5-11" wheel

315 is not recommended ofr a 9" wheel . . .

a 275 is the best fit, but a 285 works as well.

Your going to get way more grip from a 275 Nitto Drag Radial than a 315 street tire.
