What size tires can i get without rubbing or dropping car.

Hey guys i have 4 (18 by 8.5 or 9") rims and currently i have 225 45 18 tires, which are really small and look akward on the car. Whats the biggest size tire i can go without messing around with the suspension or and rubbing. I also know the rim is not wide enough which sucks. but will i be able to do 235 50 18 without a problem??

You should be able to go to 255 without a problem on a 8.5" rim. Or even 275 if the rim is 9" wide.
