What width?

I have a 1999 WS6 with stock rims and I'm looking to buy some aftermarket rims, I just need to figure out what width I need to be looking for so I don't have to buy new tires...

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

I think it depends on the offset. I had 11" wide wheels with a +50mm offset and it was about an inch recessed within the fender. After I put on 25mm spacers, the top of the wheel poked out too far by about a 3/4".

In your OP, you asked what size rims will fit the size tires you have on your WS-6 wheels, so I was saying what wheel sizes will fit the tires if you running the 17x9 WS-6 wheels with 275/40/17 tires. Either a 17x9 or 17x9.5 will fit the 275/40/17 tires.
