I'm running 215/75-15 Yokohama Geolanders on Audi/Ronal R8 alloys with ET 45 offsets. Using 8 mm spacers, front and rear, they clear but with mm to spare. At this net offset (37 mm), with the 6 inch alloy rim and balancing weights applied to the inside of the rim clears the tie rod ends and the wheel well lips by 2 to 3 mm at full deflection. Careful inspection of the tires after about 400 miles shows no evidence of rubbing. To go larger will require cutting at the current offset numbers I am using.
