Not very much wider, the strut is very close, and the spring plate is also very close.

Maybe 225/55R16

I run the 225/55... You're not going to fit any wider than that.

And it would depend on which rims you have, stock or other. Tire width will depend on rim width compatibility.

There is a discussion about the meaning of tire designations in the Owner Manual.

Another thing to note.. different brands of the same size, or even different models of the same brand, can vary somewhat. So find a size you like that "fits" but then double check the tire manufacturers specs... They may be a tad different than a tire "calculator" shows.

I'm running the 225/50/ but in 17" tires. Max tire height is just over 26" tall, or you risk rubbing the lower strut plate.
