275 is about ideal street fitment on a 9.5, despite repeated insistence on stretchy fitments round here...

I will disagree but that's pretty pointless with you so whatever. Do what you want. The 275 has maybe 3 tire choices (tire rack doesn't carry the nt05 so I had forgotten about it). I guess some more info about your car would be good.

This is the thread I was talking about. It is worth a look.

Not saying 275 is the right choice, just saying it's not "too much tire" for a 9.5" wheel.

What don't fit? The wheels or the fenders? Also how did the fenders get brought up?

I ended up going with 245s all around with dunlop dirrezza ziis since s~factor said I wont be able to fit anything else after he pulls and cuts the front fenders. Keep in mind I want to go square since my fortune auto's are rated for 11k front and 10k rear. I REALLY hope I didnt make a mistake since ive read that 245s will be a bit of a stretch, literally. I still wish I could fit 255s square though :/

I am not sure where Sfactor got that info. 255 will definately fit on the rear and can fit on the front with some camber.

why didn't you go with the 255's? I had 255 on a 10" wheel (949 racing) and the ride was jarring. I can't imagine how rough the 245 will ride. I stepped up to a 265 and the ride was smooth again.
