Horrible idea. Those belong on a 10.5" wheel.

You can put mile wide tires on a 9"rim if you want to, but the manufactures maximum recommended size is still 275/40/17.

I like answering easy questions: 285 safely, 315 if you want to brag and look stupid at the same time.

You have less contact patch running an oversized tire such as a 315 on a wheel that wide vs running the proper sized tire. But hey you have bragging rights for being stupid
