To do it right, it really depends on the tire. Tires are made to fit a specified rim width. You can get all the specs online or go to a tire shop and tell them what you're looking for. I'm running 285's. I could see 295's fitting, but if their not designed to fit a stock rim width, you could get crowning wear on the tire or even have bead seating issues.

Those are exactly the issues I want to stay away from.
