A 315/35-17 requires a minimum rim width of 10.5", per the recommendations of virtually ALL tire manufaturers. Putting them on a 9" rim will suck the sides in, bow the center of the tread out, giving you an erratic (and probably smaller than stock) contact patch. It will cause excessive sidewall flex, causing overheating and possibly premature failure. It will also look kind of bad, but that's sort of subjective. I've seen them on 9.5" rims, and they didn't look good.Fred

I agree with Injuneer here. I have 315's on 17X11 and it takes up all of the wheel. I don't see how you could fit it on 9 or 9.5's."No, officer, that bottle is my onboard Halon system"Comment

315 on an 11" rim, next to a 275 on a 9.5" rim.... do the math
