The best you might hope to fit will be an 18" wheel, due to the 14.4" front and rear rotors.

I assume you're asking for strip use? Nitto makes 555R drag radials in 305/35-20 size.
If you go with 18's better watch the offset or that big brake kit will contact.

Well, maybe on the V6, but I don't think that is what we are talking about here.
