I have 17 x 9" '03 Cobra wheels on my '93 LX. I HAD to pull out the quads just to get the RIM to clear, much less the tire! There is plenty of room for the tailpipes even with 295's.

Anyway, I run 245/ 40 17's right now, but have seen and will have 295's on the rear. A 9" rim is plenty wide enough for 295's--305's or 315's may be pushing it. Sorry, thanks to the wonderful new format here, I can't post pics. Eventually I will set up something with Cardomain, but it is a PITA I don't feel like screwing with.
