Widest rim to fit a styleside

Hi guys what is the widest 15 inch wheel that will fit under a std styleside bed?
I have 235 tyres on std rims at the mo and they look a bit stretched. Seen some 8 inch ones and just wondering if they will fit ok. I cant measure mine as the bed is not on the chassis. Cheers

I have 7 inch rims off a '78 Bronco on my F-100 styleside (short bed) and they fit without any interference, front or rear. At one point, I did have the approximate equivalent of 235's and no problem with those either. IIRC, the large tire would just touch the drag link at full lock on LH turns.
