As for biggest, I'll leave that for someone more experienced.
Types of wheels are, fe, fc, ej, eh, hd, hr, hk, ht, hg, torrana and volvo rims all have the same stud pettern as fb and ek, but some would need the offset (back spacing) adjusted so they don't rub on steering components, Trev 8) .

As Trev says..... don't know just "how" big blokes have managed to fit....
Do you mean diameter, width or both.....

Thee have been some pretty large wheels fitted.
And I suppose it would depend on what you intend to do to the body.....

I expect the question is thrown up as for "standard" body/gear......?

If you have HR discs/drums - you'll need HD onwards - I believe the earlier wheels will "crush" the brake drums...

frats,
