Welcome Aboard!
I think the biggest wheel you can run safely is a 17X8 wheels
without having any problems.Also I wouldn't get a bigger tire
than a 245/45/17 or 245/50/17.You should get some Nitto 555's
they make great tires!
I am running 17x8(245/45/17) in the front and 17x9(275/40/17) in the rear and I have EIBACH Pro springs and I don't have any rubbing in front, but the rear tires rub the Quad shocks and the Stainless pipes on my 92 LX under heavy cornering.

It rubs on the very inside of the tires and it is due to the sidewalls flexing and rubbing the exhaust. When the car is sitting still there is only 3/8 of an inch between the tire and the exhaust.
