If you get a 9 inch rear wheel you will not be able to put a proper size tire on it AND have it clear your fender. I see folks all over the place with 9s, then the tire side wall isn't straight up and down because they have to put the same size tire as they would an 8. Tires were not designed to have a non-vertical side wall.

The 8s fill out the fenders VERY nice and the proper size tire fits perfect on the 8.

My 2cents.

P.S. Heck, 911s are so great looking I think wagon wheels would look good!
what tire size do you run on an 8?
seems like most people put a 225 50 16 on an 8 and a 245 45 16 on the 9 with no problems
you have any pics of your 911
thanks
