I have a 9.5 inch wheel in my rear and was wondering what the widest tire you would get is. I'm possibly considering a 285/35/19 tire in the rear and 245/35/19 in the front.
Any other suggestions? Oh and would 295's be too wide in the rear?

I dont know my offset onhand unfortunately. I'm thinking about going wider just for a little more rubber. I need new tires in the rear so I'm just looking for some options.

Dude, you aren't pushing 900 hp! I'm no genuis, but i would imagine with more width comes more weight, and all you are doing is creating more weight to throw around and more drag on the car. my 2 cents.
Yeah it may look cool, but i can't see any real gains unless youhave ungodly horsepower that you are trying to lay down. And even then you still don't need that wide.

N/A widest I'd go is 275. Im actually going to go to 275/35 Front, 275/40 rear instead of 245/40 275/40, but width wise, you don't need more than 275 if ur N/A. If your turbo..295 rear, 275 front would be good.
i have a 295/35/18 rear ona nismo 9.5 wheel and i have 245/40/18 in the front onthe 8.5 wheel i wish i would have done a 255 of 265 front though and no i dont have any pics currently with those tires on the car

Thats what Im talking about! NICE!
Tight fit but Im pretty sure it can be pulled off, judging by the 20x11's that fit nicely under my Z's rear.
I need to upgrade I'm currently running 315 in the rear, and 275 in the front, but I need to go
295 up front, and 355 in the rear
(front: 19x10.0 (5inch lip) Rear: 19x13.0 (6 inch lip))
Here's how they look:
