295 is absolutely the widest tire I'd run on that rim.

I also wouldn't go bigger than 295 or so. Anything over 300 should have a ten inch rim or bigger.

Agree with above post. You're safely maxed really at 275 on a 9.5 wheel. You could probably manage a 295, but is wouldn't look right. There's no way safely you'll get over a 300 sized tire on there though.
