You think ill have a problem finding a tyre shop that will fit 235's onto a 9" rim??

Now iv heard people getting declined from tyre shops trying to get 215's on 8" rims...i think im just being paranoid but yeah..none the less should it be fine??

235s will go onto a 9" rim fine. I've had 245's squeezed onto 8's before.

alrighty...if i may, can i ask you guys what you think best size tyre for a 17x9 is??

(sorry, first time iv really cared about the tyre's i'm buying so i don't know a WHOLE lot)

I think 235 may be a bit narrow for a 9" rim, 235's are a better fit on 8's. Varies a little from tyre to tyre though so if u know what tyre u want jump up on the manufacturers website and see if u can find some info. Also if u can show the manufacturer supports it then you shouldn't have any problem with any tyre shop.

245/255/265 are a better fit for 9's.

Is this going on an FTO? That's a big wheel for such a lightweight car. Will look great if you can fit em under the guards though

Yeah, its going on my fto, first set of tyre's iv bought for it lol. (thus me caring about what tyre's etc..)

Yeah, they should..iv fit 18x9's with a 30 offset on it before, sat about 3 cm out of the guards, probably the meanest look iv seen on an fto lol.

Well, after reading your post, leaning towards 235/35, less of a chance of scraping?

235/35 will be a great fit go with it.

It's your best bet, they should also trial fit a couple of different sizes if you ask nicely, then you can see for yourself what you are getting
