9 1/2 is perfect for a 275 width tire. You could probably go a little larger, but 275 will fit best and be your most available and cheapest option.

Go with the 40 if you're going to 275 or 285.

275/40/17 is exactly what the ws-6 package runs, its a perfect tire and same height. i still run 275/40/17s when I switched to TT2s but the rim size stayed the same 9.5 width was stock on ws-6

on the rear you could go to 285s on the 9.5s but why not get you some 11 inch TT2s and throw some 315s out back, will look bad ***.

WS-6 and SS's came with 9" wheels. A lot of aftermarket companies make 9.5" instead but yes a 275/40/17 will work best with 9.5" wheel but I would go with 11's out back with 315/35/17 tires. Would look a lot better than the 9.5's all the way around.

So fronts are ok at 275/40/17. I just got a good (canadian deal) on a set of 275/40/17 fuzion zri's. Now i need something to match either front or back. I think i can still get a set of the same tires But if i understand right fuzion quit making them.
