9's reasonably easy, 9.5's not that hard w/ custom offsets, 10's are tough. Tires make a difference, but depending on what you do you may need to roll the fender lips, shave the springplate bolts, dial in a lot of negative camber, run firm t-bars, and get the offset just right. There's probably no real reason to go w/ anything wider than a 9" w/ 245 rubber for any normal car.

These are 17x10 custom fuchs with 275/17/40's. This is the largest, widest tire you can get on this body style. I had to shave down spring plate bolts, roll fenders, dial in negative camber, move oil lines and fuss with spacers to get them to fit. Rubs occasionally. I also have 30mm torsions so its pretty stiff too.

10X16's in the rear...running 265 track rubbers, and I have room. Bill's 275 is about as far as I would go.
 With the wheel tucked into the fender under cornering load you can see there is room yet for more. I did have to massage the oil line on the passenger side a bit, not much, nothing dramatic.

That doesn't count Souk. You're running Colt Sievers (The Fall Guy) ride height on your car.
