I have a set of Buddy Club Rims 17x9s, Offset +37 I'm going to be running on the back of my '91 240sx Hatch. I'm doing a 5 lug swap with 300zx brakes and the 300z e-brake. There are 275/35 tires on there right now. Would I be able to fit a 275/40 on? I can't find any tires in the 275/35 size that I can order quickly. Or will a 255/35 or 255/40 fit on these also? I'd rather have a little smaller tire also if that is possible but I don't know if a 255 would fit on a 9 inch wide rim. Also with this offset will I need a spacer? I don't want to tear apart the whole rear end and put the hub on only to realize that I need to get a spacer to put the rim(ie when I put my front 5 lug conversion with 17x8s I needed a 15mm spacer.) I have stock suspension also. I need to swap out the brakes soon because the stock rears are really annoying (my third 240). Thanks in advance for the help.
