Rear wheel width on my '02 WS6?

Could someone tell me how wide the wheels are on my WS6? They're the 17" wheels? Also, what is the widest tire that can fit safely on them? From behind, it just looks like it needs more meat back there. Thanks!

Stock OEM WS6 rims are 17 x 9 all the way around.

yes, they are 17X9 all four coners, stock tire size is 275/40/17's
I believe you can fit 315s on the rims. I never have, just add Nitto 555Rs, traction problem solved

the actual size is 17x9.. however if you measure from lip to lip its something like 9.5

some of the aftermarket ones are true 9.5
