What is the widest tire I can fit on a 17X9 rim? I looked at Tirerack.com and also discount tire direct, no help.
I have stock 98 GT rims and want to either get them chromed or go to the cobra r rims chromed. Maybe 285? or more?

The stock Gt rim is a 17x8 if I'm not mistaken. I have 275 on mine with no problems. the cobra R's are 17x9.....

I have seen 315's on 9" rims, but don't recommend it. 275's are pretty good.

Any votes for 285 on 17x9? I have the 17X8 now with 275 on the rear only.
