It's been done. I personally couldn't imagine anything bigger than the setup I have without some modification. In fact I had to trim a little hear and there for clearance.

18x8.5 -235/30's
18x9.5 -265/35's

265 would fit in the back with a bit of rubbing, depends what pads you run and how low you go


I dunno about 245s in the front

safest setup is 225/40/18 front and 255\40\18 in the back

sounds like airplane
and those sizes will actually work the best too

I've had 275/30/19s on the rear for a summer back in the day- but then I grew up (and into 255/35/18s)
