03 cobra rear tire, max size?
My buddy has an 03 cobra, I'm selling him some tires, but not sure what size we can go to. What are you guys running on the back with a stock 9" wheel. One of the wholesalers in town I deal with told me 315 but that seems awful wide for a 17x9.

315 is too wide for a 9', but people do it. And it looks stupid. But...its a '03 Cobra, so....you know.
If you run a Nitto Drag Radial you could do a 315 because they run small, but anything else I wouldn't go over a 285.

It's a great reference for determining tire/rim sizes

I have 285 GS-D3s on the back and they're fine on the stock 9in.
As already stated, you can use a 315 Nitto DR but the MTs and others won't fit
