What is the widest tire I can put on my car?

I've got a bent rim and the model has been discontinued. Getting something inexpensive. The Unique D style black rims :D . Anyhow, I'm going back to a 15 and was thinking of going with the 15x9 or 15x10 but I'm unsure of the max with I can go with, all 4 wheels. I don't want to rub the front. Anyone have any comments?

15x10'S Will fit w/ the proper backspacing. I'm thinking a P295/50-15 or a 305/50-15 will work out back. 15X8 is about the widest rim you'll want in the front if you are afraid of rubbing when it turns.

I heard of people using 295/305 series tires, but had to "roll" the wheel well lip up under to keep from digging in the tires when bottoming out over bumps.

When I hit a hump, bump or whatever you want to call it.. and im going a decent speed(25+) my wheel well DIGs.. And I mean digs... into my right rear tire. .I have a 16x8 255 50 or 55 16... I replaced my shocks and it stopped for a couple of days.. then went back to doing it.. :( I want all the way around so I'll get with the 15x8. Thanks for the help!

You probably need an adjustable panhard rod and that would take care of the right tire rubbing.
