I have 16x8 4th gen wheels on my T/A and have 255/50ZR16 on them, they seem to be very nice so far, dont have even 500 miles on them yet though.

a 295/50-16 will fit on a 8" wide rim. that is the widest you can go. 245s come stock, 255s fit easily, and 8" wide rim is the bare minumum for a 295 tire.
