Okay I know this has been beat to death but what is the widest tire we can mount on the stock wheel. I am asking because I would like to mount a good set of all season radials to offset the issues when driving my car in the snow.

I found that 255/40 WR18 is only .2% different than stock. The side wall is the same height just 30mm wider. The tires that came stock are just slightly narrower than the outer edge of the wheel. Will installing the wider tire interfere with suspension ect.
And what is the max percentage that we can deviate from stock without affecting the ECU ect.?
Thanks for your input into this!
