So you're more limited by the width of the rim not the height. I'm not sure with the offset what will fit on your car before it rubs but I think the typical setup for 8.5/9.5 would be 245 & 275. Could be wrong. With that being said you could go narrower or fatter a bit depending on the look you want but I believe that would be the 'optimal' widths.

Also good link Red^^^^^
