245 is as far as you'd want to go. I'm sure a tire shop wouldn't recommending going any wider.

Assuming for the front, I would have to say 225.

I am running 245/40/17, but see the thread stuck to the top of the Tire and wheel forum for more on this topic. This advice also applies to NON-OEM tires on any wheels too.

*****************************************
This advice applies to the Stock Rims, with NON-OEM tires

If you are not running the OEM tires on the rear of the S2K, you should be running a 245/45/16 in the rear.

Our stock 225 is NOT a real 225 and has a 8.5" contact patch which is the same as just about all other 245's out there.

205/55/16 in the front.
