295/45/ tire on a 9" rim? Anybody done that?

[2Gunz]

Ive finally decided on rims not exactly what I wanted. Was hoping to get a 10" rear rim,
however the ones I like only go to 9".

So 17" x 8" in the front and 18 x 9" in the rear.

Anyway now Im having trouble finding tires for it.

I was hoping to put 245/45/17 on the front an 285/45/18 in the back.

But much to my dismay they dont make them.

So ive been looking into the Nitto tires.

235/45/ZR17s in front
295/45/ZR18s in the back

Are the 235's to small?

And will the 295's fit on a 9" rim?



Its also possible to get in the Falken tires.

245/45/17 and
295/40/18

Ive been reading that the 2nd number isnt a size but a relationship of height to width.
So its possible that even thought the rear tire is a smaller sidewall number it still should be
the same size or slightly taller.

Help!
