Default what are the widest tires i can go on my '84?

Right now I've got 225/50/16 all around I'm wondering what the widest I could go in the back are. I have stock phone dial wheels.

on stock rims 245 are about the limit any wider and the edges don't sit on the road anyway but with proper rims and offset selection 285 no problem unless its really lowered have seen 325 with fender stretch on 19's looked so cool and 285's will also fit on front but rim selection is critical and no soft sloppy suspensions

245s on a 7" wheel would be ridiculous.

Here, LET ME GOOGLE IT FOR YOU...

Also, you might want to post over in the 924/944/968 forum section. You'll get MUCH more response. Even 235's are sketchy wide on a 7".
