can i fit some 315's on a 9.5 rim? If not what is the widest tire i can?

It will fit, BUT, you will be putting yourself in a very dangerous situation. The sidewalls won't be able to flex and will cause a blowout under duress.

I wouldn't go any larger than 285s.

In 1 word. NO. Get 11inch rims if you want to go with that size and get a BFH to whack the inner wheel wells where it WILL rub and a BIG aluminum bat to roll your fender edges up. Been there done that on other f- bodies Ive owned. No really good reason to go over 285s

285 is the max for a 9.5"

285 is the biggest i c but now i got a ? to ask.
So wuts the smallest i can put on the 9.5 inch rim then? (looking for a front tire)?

You could put some 245's on a 9.5 inch rim I've done it without any problems...just outta curiosity why would you want two different sizes front/rear? I get the same all the way around and always have makes for a little better treadlife when you can rotate them at all four corners.

Definitely get the same size all around. You have to be able to rotate these tires! especially the front ones because they wear out on the outsides really fast

NO! You just turn too dayum hard

arrrrrgh!

i don't put my front tires in the back. the back tires are gonna be 555r's and the front are gonna be the cheapest, hardest, easiest rolling tires they make for less rolling resistance. we also get new tires once a year
