Running a 275 on a 9 inch with either of the tires you have listed is not a good idea. They both have a soft sidewall that allow for a lot of sidewall flex. Not exactly something you want when your autoxing. Makes for piss poor handling. On a 9 inch rim i wouldnt go any bigger than a 255.

For instance, Mike Maier (5 time scca national autox champion) run a 265 on his 66 Mustang Coupe and thats on a 9.5 inch rim.
