I assume you mean the widest tire and I assume you have MPs, with 9.5" wide rears...?

If so, you are up against two limits - the widest tire that will fit on a 9.5" wide wheel and the widest tire that will fit within the physical constraints of the car itself.

Some here have gone with 295s on the rear, though I am not sure of the accompanying wheel size plus they probably have occasional scraping issues.

To be (relatively) safe, you should be able to go with a 285 and can definitely go with a 275...

That wide of a tire will not fit on a 9.5" rim. When i mount my 295s they're on a 11" rim.

255 front and 285 on the rears. The fronts may rub so pull out the heat gun.
