Widest Possible Setup w/ Stock Suspension

I'm terrible with wheel and tire setups, I'm trying to figure out what is the widest setup that I can get away with on this car? I'm focused on performance primarily. Also does anyone know where the threshold is for fender work? Thanks!

9.5" is safe, some have ran 10" but from my understanding it will rub regardless of offsets

Check my thread a few below this one. I have 9.5 +45 wheels in the rear. I plan on going to at least 255 with my next set of rear tires. I'd like to go 265, but I know it will be a tight fit.

Nice, thanks. Any place you can easily search for wheels with those 9.5" +45 offsets ?

Thanks, are you at stock ride height? What about the front? Any fender work?

Here's our VMR V705 in 8.5 ET35 225/40/18 | 9.5 ET45 245/35/18, as you can see there's a bit more room for the 255 and possibly a 265 in the rear

That's a nice setup you have going there, props. Have you had 4 people in the car and had it rub?

I'm probably going to go for this same setup pretty soon here. One last question, slightly off topic, who did your suspension work and how much did they charge you?

Those are actually pictures of my car. See this thread for suspension details:
http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1049269

I haven't had 4 people in the car, just my wife and son. I did some pretty aggressive driving, though, and haven't noticed any rubbing. I installed the suspension myself, it's just the Dinan springs.
