How wide can a rim go on a stock 02 bugeye?

Just as the title says, i wanted to find out how wide can you go without much modification to the body, fenders, etc.? i've seen 9.5 inches on a bugeye but i dont know if there were any modifications. The reason i ask this is because im getting rims. Thanks

I was running 18x9 with rolled fenders, stock struts and Tein S.techs (super low) and I was rubbing/scraping. Now I'm running 18x8.5 with no issues with slight camber..

i have tanabe coilovers i think. i dont really know what kind because im the second owner and the first owner did most of the mods. its pretty low right now considering i have the stock rims o and its dropped a little right now. could you go 8.5 without rolling fenders?
