He asked for widest and safest, 315 on a 9.5 wheel is not that.

315 nittos will fit as it is not a wide tire. even though the sidewall reads 315 it really is closer to a 295

im in for this as well and lets not have talk of the 315 on 9.5's. The thread will be locked and no one will get any help.

I love how everyone gets all butt hurt when this topic comes up. The question was how wide of a tire CAN he put on stock 9.5s, not what SHOULD he put on them. The fact is you CAN fit a 315 nitto 555r on them and 99% of the time you will have no issues. Having said that, if you want the safest tire stick to a 275.

im not saying you cant run them or getting butt hurt, he specifically said "widest and safest." lets see if your eyes can catch that in bold. forum rules say it cant be discussed at all and since i am curious about this as well id rather not see the thread locked down. seen too many helpful threads come to a very abrubt end...

I searched some, but I just couldn`t find any pic`s. When I get some more time I will see if I can find something. I have seen some pic`s on a 17x11, just not the 9.5 wheel.

Not my car but here are some side pics of those 295's on a 9.5 inch wheel. I personally love the way it looks. The tire is advertised as almost 28" tall.
