Biggest rear tire?

What is the biggest tire that you can fit under a 1g w/ disc brakes? I have a pair of NITTO 225 drag radials, but it looks like a bigger tire can fit under it. I am also running a spacer so that may be why... I want to squeeze a 245 under it...

No one has seen a pic of this car except for FELIX WANKEL. I thought I would send an older pic of it.
