Will a 285 fit on a 9 inch rim?

Yeah, i've seen them put on one, and the tire shop had a hell of time getting it on. Had to put like 100lbs of air in it to get it to finally pop out. They do bulge quite a bit though. They were on a buddy of mine's car, and the car would kinda wobble on the 9's, but they ride perfect on 10.5's. A 275 would fit much better and they aren't much smaller. I have 275 Nitto Drag Radials on my 9inch saleens and they fit perfect. Good luck in your selection

They'll fit. I'm the buddy of his with the 285s.. they were also on a 17 x 8 inch roush wheel that extra inch will make it fit great. The 285s are a little over an inch wider than 275s.

I just got 275's put on all around, and love em. I've noticed the passenger rear side is sticking out further from the wheel well, than the driver side rear? Any ideas, recently had a panhard bar installed and adjusted for the Stock 235's.

This is not intended to hijack the post, just thought someone might know.

Thanks
