BTW - There are several answers to your question depending on the criteria. These are a few of the questions that have to be answered first.

Which car do you have?
Do you have stock springs or coil overs?
Is your car lowered and how much?


There are a few other factors but that a good start.
Hope this helps...........

Tire width = rim width is a good baseline for handling, pending more info as noted above.
Assuming you have wider (enough) fenders this likely won't be a problem.

I think he means how wide of a wheel and tire can he fit under his _____? without rubbing fender or spring.

But he didnt say what kind of car he has,
whether or not it has factory springs or coil overs and which kind,
Whether he has a wide body kit or fenders at all.

So basically he has asked what size tire and wheel he can fit under a cloud.
