It's not a question of how wide CAN I put on, but rather how wide SHOULD I put on... and the answer to that would be 275.

I put a 285 nitto on mine. Should not go any bigger. Going bigger will not be safe.

205 on a 9" rim





315 on a 9" rim





It might be possible to find a tire between those sizes that you could run.

315's do not fit on a 9 inch rim. 10.5 minimum.
