For tire width, you can go pretty much as wide as will fit on the wheel and still seat the bead propely... I mean, I've seen S2000s with a 245 width Hoosier autoX tire crammed onto a stock 6.5" width front wheel! Of course, a Hoosier radial autoX tire has really stiff sidewalls, so you might not want to try that trick with some mush-sided all-seasons because thy will feel like crap and you might risk popping the bead...
