Widest tires for front and rear on stock edition 1 wheels?

They're 8.5 and 9.5" wide (front and rear). I don't believe you can fit much wider than a 265 up front regardless due to clearance and the rear you should be able to get a 285/295 on a 9.5" wheel depending on the make of the tire, it really comes down to which tire and if it'll fit based on what the manufacturer states.
I've personally fit 285/35/19 on the rear with a 57 Offset wheel (if I'm recalling correctly the offset) and it had loads of room. Fair to say a spacer in the rear and the right tire you can go wider but with out doing some research myself, I wouldn't plan to go wider than 285/295 on the stock rear wheel.

A larger tire will go on the rim and it will fit in the wheel well but it will not be correct.
If you listen to the experts as to how large a tire is proper on a rim look at the tire rack numbers.
The largest (proper fit)on a 81/2 rim is 255 and the largest on a 91/2 rim is 285 but using that throws the ratio from front to rear off SO again --using factory rims on a sedan the largest PROPER size is 255 front and 275 rear.

Yes the correct (Largest size) on a sedan with stock wheels is 255 front and 275 rear if you want to keep the same ratio as factory.

Thank you!
What tires should I order for more grip over the 265 stock michelins?
maybe some Hankook RS4?

If you feel you need more grip than what the PSS provides I'd have to wonder where you are using the car (is it cold??) or if you just make much more than stock power.
The best two options above a PSS is the P4S and Toyo R888 - anything else DOT street tire wise would be a waste.

P4S in 285/265 might be the winner here for me. I have a 28 mile commute to work so I'd rather not use R888 which howl like a coyote and wear out in 2 months XD

If you're DD'ing the car (I drive the same distance each day with mine) I'd go P4S or PSS depending (as you already have the PSS).
I'm switching to the Multispoke wheel and PSS combo this saturday, as my S currently has the Dunlops (which are "Meh" at best) both in stock sizes and my car is stock other than a DTE Tuning box.

oversized tires do more harm to performance than benefit.
get good compound in the appropriate size and call it a day IMO. Or get different wheels so you can fit a wider tire.
Anything more than 255 on an 8.5 is retarded.

I have Weistec ecu flash, downpipe, high flow filter and running on stock 19 inch size with Pirelli Trofeo R. So far I am very happy with it because it can really handle all the power!
