Default biggest tire
What is the biggest tire you can put on a stock WS6 wheel? 275/40/17 or can you go bigger?

You could even put a 315 if you wanted to but it would wear down the tire in the middle quicker

Yeah that is smart . . .

275/40ZR17 is the perfect tire for a 9" wheel.

285/40ZR17 is the widest recommended width.


315/35ZR17 require 10.5" or wider wheels.

It all depends on the tire manufacture specs.

A 295 is recommended 9.5 wheel
