Default Widest rear wheels and tyres on a 3dr?

as title
I am sure I have seen a 3dr with 9inch rims and 245 tyres a while ago or am I mistaken?
The car they are going on is fitted with coilovers.

I have 245 35 17 and 9 '' rims on the back, no probs , you just need the right offset but haven't got a clue what it is

My arches HAVE been modded but they will go on an unmodded arch car no probs.
