This seems to be the upper limit with out any modification.
Assuming you want the rear.

Since i'm familiar with that bike since I paint it every few years and service it I can tell you that it is luck to fit a 140 tire on these bikes. Finding a 140 isn't the hard part but tire sizes vary with tire manufacturers so even though you got a 140 it might actually be a 130 by tire width. Or it could be the other way around.
