Default Rim and Tire width

Can anyone tell me what the widest rim and tire, with correct offset, that can go on the S is? 17" or 18 " rim that is. Thinking about going with 225 front and 275 or 285 rear.

Yo will have to havwe a wheel with a 70mm+ rear offset. The car will not handle very well with that wide of a tire on the rear.

What I'm looking for is a rear rim with a 2 inch lip that can fit as far as possible to the outside but still have safe clearance from the quarter panel. And the same for the front rim with a 1 inch lip. Basically trying to get that wide look and stance like a Porshe 911 turbo. Also, I would like to go as wide of tires as possible on 17" rims and still keep good handling. I am turbo and plan on having around 400 whp here very soon, so I need good grip to the rear. Any suggestions?
