Widest wheels on 05 sedan?

I know many are running wide wheels for the coupe - can the sedan fit big wheels, too?

This would be for performance, so probably 18" diameter wheels... would like to get more rubber under the car. I would assume 17" wheels wouldn't fit aftermarket brake calipers such as Stoptech, so I'm asking about 18"s.

Sedan
If you want a staggered set-up, 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear. Unfortunately, the staggered look is not as dramatic as the coupe's.

So... what, that's running about a 245 up front and a 265 in the back? Is that as big as the front can go?

So the rear tires can go 275 without rubbing... what about the maximum front size? Seems like most people are just running staggered... is that mainly due to asthetics or is 245 the widest up front without rubbing?
