Default Widest practical, possible street tires?

What are the widest tires use can run in EK9 fender wells without serious rubbing? What do you guys run and how do you like them? 225s? Will 235s be a problem?

well with width comes overall diameter. I'm sure you will find that the majority of us here at H-T use a 15x6/6.5/7. That's all that is needed.

rubbing depends on wheel witth and offset.

I have some 205/50/15's on a 6.5 inch rim with a 38 offset and they rub the fenders in the back.

I have some 205/45/16's on 7 inch rims with a 40 offset and they clear the rear fenders no problem.

A 15, 16 at largest. A 15x7.5 or 16x7.5 at widest, but I want to know if I can go wider, without significant problems.
