This is going on a S13 Coupe. with rolled fenders (can pull if need be but not looking to do any major massaging. Just not sure if the 275 would be a better idea to hold a 500+WHP hit.
Still debating on what tire, Trying to get away from running a drag radial all the time.

A 265 would probably be the most you'd be able to squeeze on a 9. If you look at some of the tires available they run extremely wide. I had 265/35/18 Azenis RT615's and they were less than an .125" or an 1/8" smaller than the 275's, which is why I went to 285's.
