I'm not sure about WIDEST possible, but the backspacing will make the difference in whether it rubs or not. I have a 2 inch mini spring pack, and with 8 inch wide rims with 4.25 in BS I have very slight rub at full lock either way. I've ziptied the fender liners back some to help. Usually only rubs if i'm turning real tight, and go over a bump. I hope to put 4" springs up front soon. Hope that helps.

Welcome to the site, sounds like sideshow has your answer. I don't know, I'm running 315's on stock wheels and 2.5" front level kit with minimal rubbing on full lock.
