A great deal more needs to be addressed rather than just the widest tire. Mustang guys have used 275 on their 8" wheels.

If you're looking for performance, compound matters more than width. If I only had the choice between the NT05 in a 235 and my old BFG G-force Sports in a 255, I would do the NT05 in a heartbeat. If you can get the sticky compound in a wider tire, that's even better.

On the stock rim 245/45 and 255/40 are the typical wider sizes.

Also keep in mind that not all widths are created equal. A Bridgestone 245 will be narrower than a Michelin 245. Look at tread width as well as section width.

255/40 is slightly undersize on the radius, so if you're not lowered, that'll show up a bit more. 245/45 is a bit oversize on the diameter.
