9 inch rim and stock tires
Is it a bad idea to run my 255/70r18 stock tires on a 18x9 rim? Getting mixed reviews I know the stock tire is only suppose to fit up to 8.5 inch rim by manufacturers specs but I've had lots of people tell me it's fine.

I was going to do the same thing. In fact I had paid for Rugged Ridge 9 inch. After thinking about it I decided it wasn't worth the chance. I ended up going with an 8 inch wheel. I'm very happy with how the stock tires look and ride on the 8 inch. In fact when it's time to get new tires I may stay with the stock size. After all it's a daily driver that makes it off road once a year. The new wheel has 4.5 backspace so the tires stick out just past the fender ( instead of just inside) and look bigger.
