this really kind of depends on what you have planned for you car... If you lower the car, put a kit on it, etc, it all changes the amount of room you have for wheel diameter. I think the largest you could probably go is 19, but IMHO, that's not going to look very good... Go out and buy some 17s! It'll look tight and improve your cornering performance!

I have 225/40/18's up front on 18x8's with a +30 mm offset, and 275/35/18's out back on 18x9's with a +30 mm offset. 275/30 or 265/35 would be more ideal to match the stock tire diameter. I have Suspension Techniques springs. The fronts don't rub, but the rears rubbed alot before I rolled the fenders. 255's probably wouldn't rub. The 275/35/18's on the 18x9 with a +30 mm offset are about 1/4" from the trailing arms. So a +35 mm offset with 265/35/18's would probably help avoid the rubbing.
