On tirerack look at the "Rim width range" and the "Measured Rim Width". Any tire that fits in the first category and has the correct diameter will fit you rim, although the closer to the second category the better.

So if the tire says it has a rim width range of 8" to 9.5" with a 9" measured rim then it would fit the front perfectly provided the diameter is between 26.5 and 27.0.
