This is a tough one... I would definitely not run a 255 on a 9.5" wheel. I like the idea of 275/30 front and 285/30 rear. I also think 275/30 front and rear is a good option. You could run a 275/30 front and a 275/35 in the rear.

Thanks all. Slicer - are you thinking 255 on a 9.5 isn't enough? My current setup is 245/35 and 285/30. I wanted to check opinions before just reordering this setup.

Yes a 255 is too narrow for a 9.5" wheel IMO. It will be stretched. I guess some people like the stretched look but I would go with 275's on a 9.5" wheel (and have done so on my last few sets of wheels).

265/30/19 and 285/30/19, or 275/30/19 and 285/30/19. Anything wider than a 285 will not have necessary sidewall support on the 10" wheel and will cause the tire to bubble.

Thanks guys. I will go with 265/30/19 and 285/30/19 or 275/30/19 and 285/30/19. Not sure why 245/35 was used before maybe for rubbing reasons with the 10mm spacer? Is a 35 profile better for the front?
