Read the rules. Full make, model, trim, year, etc. only or nobody will help you!

You can go as wide as you want. You could get 13's in the rear with an extreme offset but it would look horrible and kill any acceleration you have. Standard usually is 17 or 18's that are 7 in. wide. Offset is around +45

i got a 91 accord and my tire width is 225, horrible for the rear because when i have people in the back, it drops down and the tire rubs against the inside fender thing of my car.
if i were you, i would get 205 or 215
that's what im planning to do when i get new tires too, so that i can lower it without rubbing
