I saw some 17 X 8.5 rims I liked. What's the largest width tire I can put on those? Should I go with 18 x 9.5 instead? Thanks

I think 8.5 you Can go with 265... not sure...
they do make 17X9.5, which is pretty common, and the tire 275/40/17 fits nicely on it and since its commone its a little cheaper in the tire department then similar sizes.
off hand my car has 17X9.5 with 275/40/17 tires...
just a warning with 18s, seems like price per tire goes up about $40-50 going form 17-18 in. rims.
Just stuff to consider for the future.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i> -
Cool, but the ones i like only come in 8.5s. The c5 rims on ebay. They dont list them in the 9.5. I emailed them about it, no letter back yet....17 x 9.5 sounds perfectJessica :)<br />Kansas: There\'s no place like home...99 Firebird Blown/6lbs, Eaton w/3.42\'s CI headers Z28 Exaust<br />CAI, #36 injectors Intense PCMComment

i got 275/35/18 on my 9.5's. If doing it again i would go 8.5 width. My car follows grooves and cracks too much for my liking.97 RS<br />Member Status: F-Body Owner<br />Member Number: 7705<br />Registered: September 13, 2005<br />Posts: 24<br />Email Address: hfoxx123@yahoo.com<br />Location: Minnesota<br />Occupation: Database Administration<br />Homepage: <a href=\"http://none\" target=\"_blank\">http://none</a><br />Car: uh a camaroComment
