Well, the widest STREET tires I'd recommend are 245's. I'm sure you could fit a little wider, maybe 255's or even 265's, but I wouldn't recommend it. My last wheels were 18x8.5 up front, and I could fit 265's no problem. Now I run 17x9.5 up front with 275's and 18x10.5 in the rear with 295's. I'd like to go wider in the rear, but don't want to do any modifications.

You're first question needs to determine tire height. What gears do you use What transmisison? What RPM do you shift at?
If you want a 26" tire:
You can run Mickey Thompson 26x11.5-15 ET Streets
You can run Mickey Thompson 275/50r-15 ET Street Radials
If you want a 28" tire:
You can run Mickey Thompson 28x11.5-15 ET Streets
You can run Mickey Thompson 275/60r-15 ET Street Radials
If you're really making power, and want a 30" tire:
You can run Mickey Thompson 30x12.5-15 ET Streets
You can run Mickey Thompson 295/65r-15 ET Street Radials
You can run Mickey Thompson 315/60r-15 ET Street Radials
