    Depends how much stretch you are looking for. I would run a 255 on a 9" wide wheel, that would be proper. Stock S5 wheels are 8.5" wide on 255's, so you can get an idea there as well.

    Here is my 9.5 mated to a 255 tire.

    ^^ is it me you're looking for?

    on 9, i wouldn't even consider 275, that's reserved for 10. 265 is max.

    275 with 9" is very conservative. I'd go with 255 or possibly 265.

    I'm looking at tires for a 20x9 wheel also. I'm pretty set on taking mops advice and going with 255/35/20 even though they do not match factory spec because the roads in NY are far less than perfect. As of right now it's looking like I'm gonna order Hankook Ventus V12s.

    Just to be devil's advocate and I do not pretend to even be remotely close to a wheel/tire expect, but isnt going to a 255/35/20 pushing the limits of what is recommended in terms of rolling diameter? According to the 1010tires website, a 255/35/20 wheel is 3.71% larger in diameter than stock. Your speedo will also read about 3.8% slow. Anyway, just food for thought. Maybe someone with way more knowledge than me can chime in.

    ^ That would also mess up your ESP.

    It does not "hurt" anything. I have upsized tires on many many vehicles. Will affect speedo and esp S5xy says but who cares imo. I ran it for about a year with no issues at all and it looked/rode great. Just sayin...

    Back on topic: My opinion, go with 255/30.
