Widest I've fitted on mine is 205. Well thats what was on some widened steel rims when I bought them. Suprisingly they didn't rub. However generally if there is any lowering done you will find the offset of the wheel has to be perfect and often the inner guard will have to be rolled for a bit of extra clearance. I wouldn't recommend  it for a street car as it will be very heavy to steer, particularly at low speeds. Will put you at risk of cracking your steering box. If you've seen Tony's green Super on the track he has 195's on Alfaholic GTA rep 15" rims I think. 185 is what I have and I still feel its taken a fair bit of the lightness away from the steering that they were designed with.
My opinions only!

If you want a set of perfect 14 inch Performance super lights let me know!  I am about to remove them form my newly purchased Super to put the original wheels back on.
