Folks have run 245/40/18s on the stock wheels for track use. It's pushing what you can fit in terms of tire on the 8" rim, and you won't realize the full width of the tire due to some compression (section width won't be as wide as on a wider wheel).

Here's a comparison grid I threw together awhile back and some other resources.
