7.5 is as wide as I'd safely go. Beyond that, it becomes a bit rediculously excessive anyways, you cant shove that much tire under the car, and the car doesn't weigh enough to need that kind of grip.... so you're just dragging unnecessary weight. You can try an 8 with maybe a 35 offset, but you'll have an extra inch and a half hanging out the outside, which I guarantee will go beyond the wheel wells.
