Default Tires
I have a 02 ws6 TA with the stock 17*9 rims. I was wanting to know what the offset or backspacing is and how big of a tire could I fit.

Not sure about the offset, but you can get a 265 on there at the most, safely.

50 mm should be stock.

275/40ZR17 is stock

a 285/40ZR17 will fit too, althouhg it is a tad taller, and will make your speedo off just a tad.

So you can fit a 285 on a 9" wheel, but not 295 on a 9.5" wheel?

Correct . . . and no one as far as I know makes a 295/??ZR17 tire . . .

I don't make the recommendations, the tire co's do . .
