Default Larger wheels on stock rims...

I know i'm prob gonna get flamed, but i can't seem to find much of anything on this. My rear tires are starting to get low, so i will prob be getting new ones soon. I have factory 18" rims, with stock tire sizes now. Does anyone know how much bigger i can go on the rear on the stock rim without it looking bulged out on the sides? Is this a bad idea keeping the fron tires the same size? (the fronts are good to go) Thanks! and sorry if this is a dumb question.

Stock is what, 245, if I recall? Use the rule of 20, so like the first reply said, you can go to a 265. I've heard (and seen) people with 275's on there though.

Has anyone seen this in person?? I don't want it to be obnoxiously hanging over the side of the rim.

I recommend OEM width plus or minus 20mm.

....or stock wheels (rather than just the rim part of the wheel = the outer round part!).
