In my experience, 8" with a 245 tire is going to be it without hitting anything at full lock. Most stick with a tire diameter near 25"-25.5" up front as anything larger is going to have more interference issues. If you go 8.5" wide, you can always weld up the steering stops to limit your steering travel and keep the tires out of the frame, but it requires a little more attention when specifying your backspacing. There are other tricks, like notching the subframe to increase clearance...it just depends on how bad you want it. The steering box bolts are sort of in the way, but nothing a little fabrication and ingenuity can't fix.
