Can anyone provide the height and tread width of these tires?

In addition, would these be the biggest tires I could put on 16 x 9 in wheels?

Thanks for your help.

Although, all tires vary in their dimensions here are some typical measurements:

Section width, 10.0"
tread width, 9.4"
diameter, 26.1"

these measurements are for a 255/50-16 Dunlop Sport 8000 if mounted on a 7" wide wheel

Luke, thanks for the response. What if the tires are mounted on a 9.5 in wheel?
