Default How wide can I go?

I am getting ready to purchase a new set of tires. I am also going to lower the box with a 1.5" spring kit.
My question is how wide can I go on the tires without the fear of rubbing. I have the stock size right now, but I would like to go wider while also going lower.
I would appreciate any input from you out there who have grappled with this and what your solution was.

depends on your RIM set up as well.

for my set up it's 16x8 0 offset.

TEIN s-techs.

iam on 205/45-16's

FRONT. Starting to experiance Rubbing only on pavement's that are not even-

while turning.etc.but all is well. just doing some trial and error it pays to play.

REAR. its fine havent ran into any problems yet.

i've seen some people run 215-225/40's so far

with the exceptions of rolling fenders.cambering.spacer's.and some on bag's.

or even coilovers.

hope this help's yea.

I am running the stock aluminum rims (15") if that makes a difference. I have some uneven road surfaces but for the most part I do nothing but highway driving.
Thanks for the help.
