Spacers are not the limiting factor, performance is. I have seen guys with 335s on stock Z rims, but they buldge bad and you end up with less contact area and a bad handling tire. 305 is about as much as you want to put on and still get all the rubber on the ground.

I agree, 305/35/18 is pretty standard for aftermarket. You could put 315/30/18 easily but it would be shorter than stock, you'd need a shorter-than-stock front tire for the AH to work properly still.
