Do all tires fit the same?

First off 295 on a 9-1/2" wheel is too much. 275's should go on your 9-1/2" wheel. You can fit 295, or even more but you get a ballon effect.
BF Goodrich tires I have noticed are a little bigger then some other tires. On my 17 x 11 wheels when I had 315 Nitto Drag's I had no problems with fitting under the car. When I bought BF Goodrich G-Force KD's I had rubbing issues bad. The KD's were about an 1" wider then the Nitto's. I had to roll my fenders and beat in the wheel well area.
As far as the Kumho's fitting the wheel, sure they'll fit the wheel, a little over sized but they will go. When it comes to how big on the overall width I can't say.
Read the sticky's up top, and try a search next time.
Peace,
Craig.

i work in the tire industry, and yes 285 are the biggest recommended size for a 9 1/2 wide rim. like crager said above you can put bigger but you end up with the balloning effect. hope that helps.

i was wondering this two.i went looking for a set of tires for a car at a used tire store across from my house and they had a few 275/40/17's that i looked at[looking for a tire for a clunker]and just for comparison
1 was a f1 goodyear and 1 was a bfg kdw and they both looked a lot wider than the new set of falken 451's i put on the car and they are 275's also and they look really narow.
