Default Largest tires for 17x9
I have 17x9 ZR1/SS rims.

I have 245s on the rims right now. I want to go like 305s or something. I was something a little taller and fatter for my rear tires.

What do you guys reccomend?

IMO, 275/40/17 is perfect on a 17x9 wheel

275 or 285 for sure
Depends on tire maker also. A Nitto Drag 275 is TOO narrow looking on a 9.5" rim. Their 315 is about .5" too wide but it fits well enough to be safe and effective. I run them this way.
