According profile info you are from Canada. I guess that means you get your share of both rainy days and snow/ice in winter? Too wide tires may also mean reduced grip due them being more suspect to aqua/snow-plane, and also tires will be harder to heat to working temps (and in some cases reduced grip due that). As you asked - "on stock rims", while one can fit even much wider tires then manufacturers recommend, you'll add a lot of extra tire sidewall flex, resulting in mushy washed-out handling/steering. If one of main distinctive traits of these cars is relatively good handling, why f**k it up? Also tire rubber compound will change grip much more then tire width. If it's really grip you are after, get grippier tire model of tires still within reasonable width for specific wheels (stock in this case). That is ideally 205-215 for x7, and still reasonable 195 & 225. One CAN mount even narrower or even wider tires then that. But you've been warned on cons of doing that.
