Default Tt II 's

I have the same size as stock tt II's the 16X8.5 ... and i was wondering what the max size was.. because i work at a tire shop and i have the stock size and the one guy said the max i could do is 265/60/16 but i was thinking since the sidewall is smaller on say 285 or 295/50/16 ... i could put them on there. and my uncle said thats what he had on his stock rims the same size.

for an 8.5" rim the widest tire u can go with is 255 if you go larger ur just damaging the wheels more such as tryin to fit a 315 on 9" wide rim.
