On the 9.5" stock 18, 285/295 is the max without sidewall buldge. I have 305 Nitto drag radials on a set of 9.5 magnesium rears and they fit fine, but would not want to do that with a normal tire.

255/265 with no problem, but I run Nitto road race 275s on a set of front mags, and they seem to work out fine.
