It depends on the tire. But 285/35 on a 10.5" is probably minimum and 265/35 on a 9.5". With proper fitment being 295/35 on a 10.5" and 275/40 on a 9.5". You might be able to go lower with a specific tire, but check out the Tirerack.com and browse tires by brand. Then go to specs and you can see the recommended rims per tire size.

Also, that combination would throw off the VDC because of the tire diameters.

275/40 on 9.5" in the rear and 245/40 on 8.5" in the front is the standard upgrade package. Getting wider rims makes finding a good tire combo a headache. That's not even considering trying to fit the smallest tires on a given set of rims.
