I have 15mm spacers up front, 25mm in rear, with godspeed coilovers lowered to the middle of row sport spec range. I was able to Max camber out up front (barely) and rear (with a bit more room to spare) within factory specs. That was 2 years ago and I have not had any undue suspension wear since then. So, you can go at least that wide without problem. If I raised it back up to USA spec height I could probably put 25mm spacers up front and run square with 245s all around without problem.

If you do start running square, be aware that this will change your steering dramatically. When I went from 205 to 225 it took almost all the understeer out of the car so going square would likely introduce oversteer. Not what you were asking, just wanted to share.
