Very wide graphics in knitr HTML

I am using r markdown and Rstudio to create an html report. I have some graphics that I would like to be extremely wide, however, there seems to be a limit to the width in the output even when using fig.width and out.width in the chunk options. For instance the following three code chunks produce figures which are the same width in the final output:

```{r,fig.height=7,fig.width=12,echo=FALSE}
plot(rnorm(1000),type="l")
```

```{r,fig.height=7,fig.width=40,echo=FALSE}
plot(rnorm(1000),type="l")
```

```{r,fig.height=7,fig.width=40,echo=FALSE,out.width=20000}
plot(rnorm(1000),type="l")
```

I have used options(width=LARGENUMBER) for output (e.g. such as print, etc.) which seems to work well for printing tables, but I have yet to find a a way to make these graphs any wider.

Any suggestions?

You could add something like this

---
output: html_document
---

<style>
img {
    max-width: none;

    /* other options:
    max-width: 200%;
    max-width: 700px;
    max-width: 9in;
    max-width: 25cm;
    etc
    */
}
</style>


```{r,fig.height=7,fig.width=12,echo=FALSE}
plot(rnorm(1000),type="l")
```

```{r,fig.height=7,fig.width=40,echo=FALSE}
plot(rnorm(1000),type="l")
```

```{r,fig.height=7,fig.width=40,echo=FALSE}
plot(rnorm(1000),type="l")
```

or better yet set up your knitr.css file with

img {
    max-width: 200%;
}

or whatever you like, and use 

---
output: 
  html_document:
    css: ~/knitr.css
