Default Wheel/tire size for FI

I couldn't find any good information on wheel and tire sizes for FI applications. For those who are running atleast 500-550hp what size wheel is optimal for the rear. Alot of the wheels that I like only come in 9.5 inch width, so I was thinking I could go with a wider tire in The bck, say like a 285 or 295. What do you guys recommend for the rear wheel size? I want a wheel that is wide enough to give me somewhat good traction.
