Widest tyres on a production car?

[V8S]

After seeing the wheels of several DT Panteras, and a Marcos LM500 being converted for the road, I was wondering what are the widest tyres fitted as standard to a production car anywhere in the world.

Can be any era, but doesn't include double wheeled tyres like some trucks have. Must be all one tyre.

Mate in the US said he had 385's on his Viper as standard.

According to the great interweb, the current viper has 345s as standard on the back.

385 on a Viper seems a bit far fetched but happy to be told to shut up.

had huge flotation tyres that were like balloons- it was an option for 2 years technically making it a production vehicle. They only made 2 and they tyres were 18" wide.

my current challenge truck has tyres which are 38.5" x 18" wide although it isn't production vehicle having had an sva.

Brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?

We saw a red one of those parked beside the road in Scotland a week ago. The look on my offroading-mad OH was priceless. Still, kept her quiet trying to breathe for about 10 seconds.
