Widest tyre wheel combo on a 240Z with stock arches and struts.

Currently running 225/45/16 on the rear and that fills the stock arches up to the max with my wheels - don't have the spec to hand. Has anyone been able to go wider with stock arches and stock struts?

I don't want to cut into the arches for flares hence want to know what's feasible keeping things unmodified.

What wheel and tyre specs have you used and how wide have you gone?

That is the size I have and pretty sure it's the largest you can go before you start having issues.

Memory is falling and not easy to check right now..pretty sure rear is 16x8 with zero offset.

Read some old posts saying that wider is possible with coil overs and thinner springs...i guess im maxing out at 225 with stock suspension.

Surely you can go wider than 225 when more of the wheel and tyre is under the arch ? You'd have to run thinner diameter (racing) springs and the wheels might less 'dished' but all comes at a price. :)
