Choose the suspension you want, then go tinker. There are a ton of fitment threads you can look at for how something looks/fits.
People run stock all the way to 10" wide on stock fenders. There's no "flow chart" of sorts for you to follow when it comes to choosing a subjective wheel fitment.

Many of those variables can be eliminated completely though. I'm saying forget the suspension settings, and find the clearance at the limit of the suspension travel. Assuming the car is intact, and nothing is flopping around broken. Let me simplify the question with a dumb example... If you jump the stock car and bottom out the suspension completely, raised, lowered, who cares... The stock wheels will not rub anything on the car. The suspension will hit the bump limit first.. How far out can you push them while keeping that statement true? That's all I'm asking. No, I'm not building the car for jumping, it's just an example..
I was hoping the information already existed, because it will be the same for any wheel width at the stock tire diameter.
I would tinker, which I said I will do if the information doesn't exist, but I will tinker before I buy things, because custom offset 2-piece wheels are
expensive.
