Re: Widest tires on the 17"x9" R/T rim?

The '93-'95 Ford Lightning's had 275's on a 17"x8" rim...

I don't understand how a 1" wider rim couldn't hold another 25 millimeters of
tire width (2.54 centimers in an inch, right)

I guess 275's would be a slight upgrade over the stock 255's.. but I was
kinda hoping for something really beefy looking for the rears... I planned
on staying with 255/55's (or something very very close) up front.
