Default What's the widest....?

Hey guys, I have a question. I am in the need of new tires very soon when my car comes out for spring (cant wait). I just purchased i believe they were 17x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear? I believe those are the stock sizes of the rims. But, I was wondering what is the widest I can do on those tires, and what brands would you reccommend. I am thinking about doing a Nitto Drag Radial out in the rear, but I don't know what to do up front. Any help guys would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to www.nittotire.com and look at the NT01 in the spec section there is a chart that tells you what the recomended rim width for their tires.
