>9" wide - is a 225 at 8.9" close enough? 225/70R15 is 27.4"x8.9", you've got two studdable options in that size:

Anything wider or shorter I got zilch. If you can run a skinnier tire like a 205 (8.1") you've got loads of options so I guess the question is why do you have to have a 9+" wide tire and can you work around that at all?
I'm guessing it's so that people don't show up with tires off a stage rally car that look like these: |
Haha good point!
The width issue is compounding the height issue, the long and the short of it is the highest point on the vehicle needs to be less than the width. Height is 70", width is 64". I will take a bunch of preload out of the suspension, and run a wheel spacer, which should drop me very close to the width requirements, but if I take the stock 11" wide tires off and put 8" wide tires on, it'll make the machine skinnier.
