Im not sure what your asking. To go wider you would need to step up to a 285 tire. Maybe Im reading your question wrong.

From what I've read...Goodyear GSD3 tires are the widest

gsd3 are wider then most other tires

GS D3, or BFG. Get a BFG KDW 285/40/17. It is wide, but fits.

i don't understand either... 275 MM across is 275 MM across no matter what tire you have.... unless that is not true.

That is not the case with most tires. Some are wider in the same MM as others, it just depends on the brand. Not all 275 MM tires will be EXACTLY 275MM, try it out with a ruler if you have same size tires in different brands with your car and your friends car, they will probably be a little bit differernt in overall width. It is strange, but true. Another reason why some people have an easier time getting 315's on their car compared to others.

if you go with a any 275, and get a wider wheel... they should all be within .1 inches from each other... you can fit a 285 on a 9.5 wheel or stretch out a 275 on a 9.5 in wheel. if you're worried about traction, get some 275 DRs. i've tried the M/Ts and BFGs and like the BFGs...cheaper and are lasting longer!

you can get 285' mx like I had. There good tires, and I wouldn't trade jsut for .0001 cm. There really good tires for the money actually.

So what you guys are saying is that a 285 will fit an o.e. 9'' rim.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3s are super wide.

If you want wider tires, don't worry about the .1" difference between makers, just go with 285's

me and my friend were able to fit 315s on out stock rims

joe-ss96

thanks guys for your help. looks like the gs d3 and bfg are the widest.on any other brand, 285 probably is the way to go with no problem of the tire lookin like ifs gonna blow out of the wheel . Fb0dy0nly im gonna take the ruler and make my own research .

That is the widest that will fit on a 9" wheel....BFG's run the widest.

The 275 is NOT the tread width!!!!!!!!!!
It is the cross section of the widest part of the tire. Which would be sidewall bulge to sidewall bulge.

here are some pics of BFG KDW in a 285/40 on a stock 17x9 SS wheel.

315/35/R17s in back w/11in rim. I have seen same tire on 9in rim but I've also heard not to mount a tire that wide on a 9in rim. had to cut bumpstops off but havent had any problems even on speed bumps. Sorry no pics but maybe soon.
