Default Tallest front tire height?

i tried a search, but didn't really find much info on this, but what is the tallest tire that will fit up front in a 275-width tire, without rubbing anything when at max turn, or rubbing the top when going over bumps?

the reason i ask is because what i will probably do when i get some Koni SA's is do the lower front perch/heater hose rear lowering mod, for just a slight drop to get rid of the 4x4 look. then i can still put on some ground effects (nothing too outlandish, probably just the RS-style) without having to worry about it bottoming out all the time (and to keep some ground clearance for when i get LT's, too)......but i still want to fill out the wheel wells. so if i can put a taller tire on some 18's or 19's, it will help to fill out the well really nicely....i just don't want them to rub on the inner front fender when turning/going over bumps. obviously, i would have to have some tuning done to correct the speedometer.
