how wide can i go?
ok so right now i'm running 245/45 zr17 all round, and the current rubber is falken. i'm not too happy with them and want to invest in some nitto's. i dont know too too much about tire specs, my rims i believe are 17 x 9. how wide can i go for next spring?

I have 18x10's and run 275 but could easily run 295's. I still say 9 inch rims would easily handle 275's
