Largest width tire on stock 18 x 8.5 rims?

Does anyone know what is the largest width tire that I can put on my STOCK 18 x 8.5 inch rims without rubbing against any suspension components?

The stock tire is 255/55-18. I am thinking of going 285/50 or maybe even 305/45. But I am worried about rubbing.

Anyone done this before? Thanks in advance...
