Biggest tires on a stock IROC rim?

What are the widest tires that will fit on the rear of an IROC on the stock 16x8 rims? will 275/50/16's fit?

Personally, there's no way I would put a 275 tire on an 8" wide rim, but people have done it. I wouldn't go over 255, but that's just me. I chose to go with 245/50 when I did mine. By the way, with 275/50 tires your speedometer will be off a bit. It will read slower than you are actually going by a few MPH.

My buddy had a 255 on a 15X7 incher, and it worked fine.
