I've lived in Detroit thru 2 winters with them though and haven't quite killed myself yet because of the tires. I think that 285/60/18 is definitely the biggest you can go without a trim.... and some people have had to take a corner off the inside of the bumper with that size. 265/60/18 is the biggest if you want to make absolutely sure that you won't have to trim at all.
Actually 285/55/18 is the widest tire you can go without trimming. The 285 is wider than the 265, but going with a 55 series keeps the height very close to stock so your speedo reading is close to correct and also you don't have to trim the cladding.
