Is there a general rule of thumb? or does it really depend on the wheels to determine max size?
Look on the tire manufacturers website for recomended wheel widths per tire size. its going to be different for every tire. Most people run wide wheels with narrower tires to get better wheel/fender fitment. 9.5 can take a pretty wide tire easily though.
