what is the largest size rim/ tire i can run?????

keep in mind i love my car and really don't want to get myself killed either at least not yet anyway

all kidding aside thers's a cat on here with 17"s X 9
i mean they look great but are the con's if any to running larger then stock ????????

 

I'm running 17 x 9.5s with 275/40/17 Firehawk SZ50's on 'em. I have a sllight rub at wheel lock. The handling's improved immensely. Worth every penny.
Pics at the bottom of my web site in my sig.

 

Only con I know of is the price of performance tires.
The BFG G-Force T/A KDW that I have on my wheels where $900 for 4 275/40/17 mounted and balanced with road hazard. This is with Sears price matching Tirerack.com. Sears price was $240 for just one tire.
These are awesome tires too, softer compound for more grip but less durability, ie. they wear faster than, let's say, the Kumho's that I had which where $120/tire.

Here is a pic of one of my good tires,
