At the front, with your current rim, you are limited to very few different widths. Most modern bikes woth wide tyres use smaller diameter rims with low-profile tyres. Wider sizes available AFAIK are 100/90 and 110/90. Both will be a little wider, but also a little larger in rolling diameter.
At the rear your most limiting factor is clearance between tyre and belt. You may find you can get in a 140/85 (also known as MU) or 140/90. Bikes from that era don't have much scope to expand, without using custom modifications.
