Default tire size for y2k wheels

What is the largest tire width I can use with my 02 wheels front and rear. I would like to avoid tires bulging past width of the wheel. Pics and tire recomendations would be good.

thanks steve

255 in F and 285 R work but the problem is finding a matching set of tires, if you go to z06 sized rims you can get 275 F 305 R. larger tires will fit but you will be bulging on the sides.
