Default widest tire available

I'm looking to replace my rears after i upgraded to a Spohn adjustable torque arm and panhard now no hop just no traction either. I'd like to go larger than a 275 on my stock ss rims any suggestions for size and manufacturer?

You can fit 285's on it and that's as big as I would go on a 9.5" wheel. There is alot of others with 315's on thier stock wheels but it just looks like it would give you way to much lateral squirm when you corner.

285 is as wide as you should go on the stock 9" wheel.

The kumhos are kinda skinny and the 285 looks about the same as my 275 Nitto 555.
