Default whats the widest tire that can go on a stock 18" rim

My stock tires sized at 235/50/ZR18 need to be replaced. My wheels are the 18" polished aluminum rims just like those on the Shelby GT. I want to go with a little wider tire on these stock rims. Does anybody know how wide (what size tire) I can safely install on these rims? I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks, Brian

You could run a 255/45/18 for a wider tire all the way around.The over-all diameter is off about .2" .Even Tire Rack recommends that tire size where they list their FRPP 18" Bullitts.
