Default Front tire clearance question

Just wondering how much wider and how much taller (for clearance) you can go using a stock rim on a 2007 Z51 from 245/40/18.

You can't go any taller without causing problems with the A/H and T/C. The height (diameter) difference between front and rear has to be kept very close to stock.

Wider causes different problems, the stock 245mm width is correct for the 8.5 inch wide wheels.
