there are stickys at the top for future reference but it depends on your offset and if your lowered also some tires are a bit wider than others in that size.. goodyear GSD3s are about .5 in wider than nittos.. they should fit no prob though with the right offset. You might have to trim the bumpstop and BFH which is pounding the inner wheel well in with a hammer.

This is the most commonly asked question. Just go through the forum or do a search for my name and you will find numerous threads where I have covered this topic till the cows come home.

Also... if you ask a question like that, a bit more detail would help. You did not mention what wheels you have or planning to get. So.... provide some more details so we can help you.

to fit a 315 tire, you need a 10.5" rim, minimum.

In that case, the answer stays no. You can't mount 315s on a 9.5" wheel safely, so I definitely recommend against doing that. Even if you were to put them on there (it can be done), it would look really weird because the tire would bulge out over the wheel. Also, you wouldn't gain any traction because of the tire being stretched so far over that skinny wheel, it would cause most of the weight of the car to be distributed over the center 1/3 of the tire. As a result you would have even less traction and a horrible wear pattern with the inside wearing out while the outsides of the tire would remain looking like new.

Don't do it.
