Be careful mate,
Widest is not best unless you are just dragging the car perhaps.
285 is the widest you can put on a 9.5J really, but i would say that the best would be a 275 or even 265 to avoid rollover and give best handling. This is a very wide rim for a 200!
I am sure others you are more expert than me will comment :wink:

im sure you work in the best place to have answered that :wink:

but you can just get a 285/35 on a 9.5" rim but its on the limit

I run with 255/35 on my 9.5s wouldn't go more than a 265 personally as you'll struggle to get a matching width tyre on the front and it'll make it handle a but funny...
