Default Widest tires on 17" stock Bullits?

How wide/tall can you go on the stock Bullits? The 235's are just to skinny! Also, whats a good height to fill the wheel well?

I have gone over this many times with don and many others.. haha.. its look like the MAX is 275 BUT I heard it sticks out and doesnt look good.. which leaves with 255 .. 255s look good on it.. but you still will want somethign bigger in the back.. i.e. new rims

I'll ask another related question just to keep things lively. What's the max/preferred profile with a 255 on a stock 17" rim? I would really like to keep my stock rims until something more preferential comes out and I have some wierd tendency to go through rear tires. Please do not slam the crazy old fart for not using the search option, it's almost like looking for a hat on eBay.

What are your backs? Did you go to 18" rims? Also, if I get 18's for the rear, how large can I go?
