255/40/18 on the A-spec wheel or 265/35 on several aftermarket rims if I remember right.
I have 245/40/18's as I almost went with 255 but they were 2.5 times as much money as the 245's. So, I opted to cheap out with the 245's.

Walk the walk
I think from this "community" the widest biggest tire running is 255/40/18 on Acura 18x8.5 inch rim and 255/45/17 on the Acura 17x8 inch rim. No one says a 265 won't fit but nobody is running it!

a 300mm wide tire on a 18x10"rim with 20mm offset and a 25 or 30 aspect ratio will fit but it wont look or ride right, but it will mount. 
for the available rims for TL, i'd say a 255 would be max you would want. 240 and 245 gives you more options in rim choice. all should be plenty of rubber for a 270hp at flywheel.
