tire sizing?

does anyone know how wide of a wheel i can put on my 280z, i'm looking to go as wide as i can because of stabilitly and because i love the look of a wide wheel, i was thinking of a 225/40/17 or wider if possible, but i'm not sure exactly how wide is too wide...

What Steven said. However, I'm running 16x8's on the front and rear with 245/45/16's.

But don't assume you can do the same. These cars vary somewhat from vehicle to vehicle. You need to measure before you buy.
