Largest OEM Wheels on an 87 Narrowbody Carrera?

Can anyone share their experiences on the LARGEST OEM wheels that can be fitted to an 87 Carrera narrowbody? I currently have Cup II 17" rims (8 and 9s) with thick spacers for the negative offset. I would like to know about the largest rims and lowest profile tires I can fit. Rolling the fenderwells and spacers are options I will look at.
