Default Widest tires that can fit on a 17x9in rim.

Are they 17x8in or 7.5 in?

Whats the widest tire you can put on them? 275 or 295? Ive been told both.. not sure.

EDIT: Looked on ebay found out they are 17x9in, so whats the widest tire that can fit on those?

I think the widest is 275/50. I'm not real sure but you can put the 295's on there but they will wear uneven.

It depends on the tire. Pick a tire and look at the specs for that particular tire. Each tire will work on a range of rim widths for each different size, so do the footwork and see. I've got 275/40 on my mustang's rear end on 17x9 cobra knock-offs and they look pretty good. You could probably go wider.
