Default how wide can you go?

not an expert on tires, but looking for your personal input and pluses and minuses (p.s. saw other threads on different tire size combos).
I'm running on stock wheels and tires and i like the stock 18's on my 08 Touring. Only thing I'm interested in doing is getting some wider tires to have more of a flush look of the wheels with the fenders of the car. Thus, I was wondering, how wide can you go with the tires on stock wheels without having to fender roll or put on spacer.
Thanks fellas.

With the stock 9.5" wide wheel tire manufacturers usually don't recomend exceeding 275.

Just changing the tires won't make them sit "flush". Throw some wheel spacers on while you are at it.

If you want wider tires get wider wheels.
