Sure you want to go that wide? Maximim increase in size is 1.3 times the original. And you also have to consider the ratio od width front to back...
to much difference and it's a no no.
Very wide tyre on such a light car also makes it difficult to keep its arse on the ground as there is little pressure left in its huge footprint.
9.5 inch rim means at least 235+ wide tyre. Original 165, so max size is 215. Also need to consider that it doesn't increase your track width too
much as well.
