Default Widest tires without problems?

What are the widest front and rear tires I can fit on a '99 T/A that hasn't been lowered or anything, but won't rub or need spacers or anything? Same goes for wheels. What are the widest front and rear wheels i can run w/o and problems or spacers?

Depends on way too many variables . . . not just tires, but the wheel and it's measurements.

One could runa 245/45R17 on a 8" wide wheel, and depending on the offset it will rub . . .

Or a 315/35ZR11 on a 11" wheel may fit like a glove . . .
