Default Tire size question Z51

I have a Z51 and fell in love with the Nowicki carbon fiber packages I just saw on their SEMA car. If I use their wheelwell pieces i'll need larger tires as it flares out the wells an inch or so. I'm new at this and am wondering if anyone knows if I can put tires larger than the stock 245/285 ones on the stock wheels? And if so, whats the limit or recommendations. really like the black wheels and don't want to spend the cash on new rims

You can put slightly wider tires on the factory wheel but be careful with the aspect ratio. Even going from the stock 30 to a 35 can result in the tire rubbing.
