It isn't always a question about fitting the fattest tire. It is also a safety issue. Although a fat tyre looks cool, it might cause a safety problem because there is a limit regarding what tyre size the rim can take.

I put a 140/90 on my 16 once and would still do it but they are double price now.  Its only one size bigger than stock.   I have a 130/90 on the 17 right now but havent really rode it yet.  Also I believe 1 bigger than stock but this is my first 17" so didnt get familiar   with them yet.
