Default Largest tire in '92 spare wheel well

What is the largest size rim I can expect to fit? I may want to switch away from my current 18's but I'd like something larger than the stock 15s. TIA

Can't speak for the 1-LS specifically. Gauging from ours with the original carpeting, foam insulators and mat: a 27" diameter might be a tight fit. The 245 sits pretty well because I've had ours in there when it flatted. Beyond a 265 will bulge the trunk mat. With the carpeting, rubber pads and foam inserts removed this opens up a bit more space.

Actually it just occurred to me that tires were sized to preserve the original diameter as much as possible.
