widest wheels and tires for SS

what is the widest wheel and tire that will fit on the ss? i have heard of people running 255's and maybe even 275's on stock wheels. i want to go WIDE if i do the wheel/tire thing. i was thinking 19x9.5 with either 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 if they would fit, or the maybe 18x9.5 with 265's or 275's cause the wheels i want aren't made in 19's, Work Emotion CR-kai's...18's only and custom order the bolt pattern, im sure any other wheels will be custom since no one makes wheels for our friggin bolt pattern.

I had 255x40s on mine They fit and turned Goodyear F-1 they seem to run a little wider you pretty much need to mount one up and try it on .

On the stock 18x8 wheels? How much clearance is left?

I am looking for wheels too, and for those who have shopped for wheels there's hot a whole lot out there that fit in the way of a super lightweight performance wheel. I am looking at Work wheels with Bridgestone re11's. First they will be a custom order bolt pattern which i wouldn't be able to return. Second, with the type of wheels, especially in the width I am looking at, will cost at least $3500 out the door, and some of what i am looking at could go over $5000 if i choose to go with a deep lip, 3 piece setup, assuming that something like that fits.

I just started looking the other day and i will continue to research how wide we can go.

Any input is much appreciated!
