Default widest tire on 8" rim

If I were to remove the quads or reverse them to get the largest tire possible on my 85 gt, what is the largest tire width and height I can get on a 8" rim? I have seen so many different numbers and would like a straight answer. I do not want to roll my fenders and the width is what I am more concerened about for I need all the traction I can get. Can you go as large as 275's which in actuality is 10.83". Any help would be appreciated.
