Probably a 320/90R54.

At nominal 78.0" in overall diameter and 12.6" wide, for an R-2 designation (cane and rice tread depth), this rear tractor tire can carry up to 7600 lbs at 52 psi.

OK, I feel bad. What wheel diameter and application? That might help get a more useful response. --Brian

I just put 265-40's (RE050) on 18x10 Carrera III rears (stock 997 C2) and I kind of wish I would have gone to 275's. It could definitely take it.

Keep in mind the larger the sidewall the worse the handling. So when you go big you better go lower number on the profile. So if you currently have a 40 profile going larger you may have to go to a 30 or smaller.

Just bought some iForged 19x8, 19x10. I know a 285/30/19 and 285/35/19 is possible, but what about a 305/30/19?

From memory, it is not recommended to fit a 305/30R19 to a 10" rim; I think 295 was the max. I will check the relevant tire standards in the morning to make sure. If the rim is too narrow, the sidewalls and tread arc are inappropriately distorted and the air cavity created by the tire and wheel is too small. --Brian

Confirmed: a 305/30R19 should go on a 10.5" wide rim at a minimum; 11.0" is nominal recommended for this size.

Widest 19" 30 series tire recommended for a 10" wide rim is a 295.

I have 295/30/18 on my Carrera 18 x 10 wheels on my 99 C2 with no issues at all.
