You could put 275s on there, but they'll bulge past the wheels. Not sure what aspect ratio you'd want to go with though.

you can go bigger than 255. they have 265s out there. would be a happy medium

I had 275 Nitto drags on 2000 GT wheels on my old Mustang and the bludge was not bad at all. A 9" rim would be better, but I would mount 275's on an 8" rim again if that's what I had.
