Default Widest Rim for stock rear tire

What's the widest rim the stock 285x35x19 rear tire will safely fit?

Thank you gentlemen. Thinking of going to ForgeLine wheels with a 10-1/2" or 11" wide rear, using the stock tires. Also researching a tire better for an 11" wheel that would give me the same or close to same sidewall height. I like to have some tire under me.
