275 and 285 is about the biggest you should go on a 9 inch wheel...you could go 295 or even 305 but it wouldn't look right.

275s will fit no problem. You could go 275 all around and that would be just fine. Remember not too go too small or you leave too much lip on the rim exposed to possible damage from road debris/curbs. 265 is far too small for a 9.5 rim since I have those on the front of mine. 275 would be a good choice in front with either 275 or 285 out back.
