They will fit, but personally I wouldn't go any bigger than 17's. Having lower profile tyres to suit would make it a very hard ride.

18" x 8" on 215 x 35 x 18.


Hope that helps.

If you want to retain some handling, as has been said, don't go more than 17".

19" also fit, but must be 7.5" wide rims, and 30 profile tyes.
