What's the widest rear tyre on a swing axle?


What's the widest tyres to fit under stock guards when lowered a spline it two?
I'm currently running 245/60r 14 with fibre guards (and a spacer) but want to get it back to looking stockish and low.
Cheers.

I've got 225/60x15 on narrow axle with type 3 brakes and radar wheels. Not much clearance each side, but the fit with no rubbing.
