How wide can i go??
I'd like to be able to use a 9.5" wheel all the way around on my bird, is this possible? i dont care if they rub slightly at full lock.
i've searched and found people who have used 9.5's on the back and 8's on the front, but id like to be able to rotate my tires.
Thanks!

most people run 275/40-17.. IIRC, some run a 285/40-17 on the rear..
