Default max width tire on current wheel?

Any idea what the max width tire is that I could fit on my current rear wheel? I'm gonna have to dig to find the name and dimensions of it but currently it's got a 180 tire. I'd love to have a 240 but I'm just guessing that's too wide but I hope not since it's time for a new rear tire.

Found it... the wheels are reaper 18x5.5. Is 200mm the widest or can I go a little wider? It's got a 180 on there now.

How much room do you have between your belt and tire.. they find out how much wider the 200 or 240 is VS the 180..

you also can add the wide tire kit to the rear.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check the amount of room I've got. I think the guy I bought this bike from had a 200 at one point and then went with a 180 later on.
