I'm pretty sure the widest is 10" or 11"

In the front people have run 18x10.5+50 with a fender roll and coil-overs/high spring rate with 2.5 springs.

The rear can hold a 18x11+50 with a fender roll and coil-overs/high spring rate with 2.5 springs.

A good set up is 5zigen rims 18x9.5+45 all around. I'm not sure if you need coil-overs for that setup but maybe a good fender roll. Anything wider than 9.5 inches on the street is overkill.

thank for all that guys. that will help a lot. i'm hoping to put 12'' on the back and 10'' in the front but it doesnt look like it will fit.

You can get 12"R and 10"F but not with the stock suppension. you will need a set of coilovers, the right back spacing and possibly some spacers. Anything wider than 9.5F and 10R (depending on tire width) will stick outside of the fender well, so wider fenders are a must.... unless you are going for a red-neck look of 3" of tire sticking out the side of your car.

The width of the rear wheels is pretty flexible, it's just a matter of getting the correct offset and designing flares that compensate for the added width. The front however is limited to 10". CCW has a 10" F setup with a 50+ offset. As stated, you will need 2.5 coilovers and possibly rolling the fenders. But they will fit.

These flares/wheels popped into my head when I read this thread.

Check it . . . . . look at the suspension mods on this FD for 18x10.5 on all corners. The rears will fit 11" wide.
