The only reason I'm tempted to try on the 9" wheel is that I've seen C6 Vette guys running 315/30/18 on an 18x8.5" wheel. They said it gripped as well as the 295 but had much better wear characteristics. The Hoosier spec sheet even says they're the same diameter as the 295/30. With a stock legal 5mm spacer, I think there's a good chance they'll clear on the inside.

Fair?!?! Who said anything about fair? When I try it in the spring, you'll be the first to see how it works. It'll probably be with 315s in front and 295s in rear for the first event
