Reverse mounted why? You're 9" is in the front? ....then change it. You have it that way because you got them that way you mean? Of course you can always fit more meat in the rear of the S than the front. I figure it's worth the swap. Lots of shops will mount dismount for 10bux a tire thus 40 bux you're setup right.

You can fit 265 rear and 245 front preferably. I've driven on BBS lms but idk the spacing of that set so it's irrelevant but in any case, get that 9" in the rear and get some meet on it. Then of course you can get 255 on the rears with ease or even more.
