Tires I have a set of ZR1 wheels on my car. They are 17x9.5. I was wondering what is the widest series tire I could put on them. Would it be liek a 285/40/17 or could I go wider?

I have 17x9.5 ZR1's with 285/40/17 on all 4 wheels. They work great. The 285 is about 1/4" taller and wider. No problems rubbing. I bought 285's because they were less expensive than the same tire in 275

You can usually find the suggested rim width for a given tire on a manufacturers website. It will vary from manufacturer. I think Nitto's are more generous for this.
