Largest tire on a 17x9?

I was debating with a guy at work today about the largest size tire you can fit on a 17x9 wheel. Can someone settle the bet.

See ya on the road,
Matt

Prolly close to 285. That's just a guess though. Hey I saw you called, what's up?

275/40/17 is the largest tire any manufacturer will ok for a 9" wide rim. You could probably get away with a 285mm wide tire though.
