All tire mfg print specs for each tire model.
Tirerack.com has a large munber of these specs.
Biggest tire on 8.5" for Michelin PS2 is a 255
Biggest tire on 9.5" for Michelin PS2 is a 275

WA2GOOD, what offset are your Nismo wheels, front and back?
Also, I still don't see how a 315 tire can work with a 9.5 inch rim without bulging out the sides like crazy. Hell even my 295's on my 10.5 Volk GT-V bulges more than the tires in your pictures.
I'm looking to get BFG 315/30/18 DR's in the back and BFG 265/35/18's up front btw.

18x9.5" rear with a 315/30/18 or a 305/30/18

Vision619 has the PS2's that are 315/30-18 rear and 275/35-18 front. Just to clarify the fitments to a street application. Although the 315's have no problem with fitment you might want to caution that you don't have the everyday tire Joe installing these for you, and on a couple of cars there were small small mods that were done to keep it on the safe side with clearance. They were not always neccesary but were done as precaution.
