Tire Advise Please

I have an 87 Formula with 16x8 inch rims. The car calls for 245/50/16's with a V speed rating. I have a few questions:

Is anyone running a larger size than this on there 16x8 inch rim? What is the max ic can put on it 255/265/275? Also, I'm kinda on a budget. In other words, I'd be willing to spend the money but want to see if anyone knows of some good deals on preferably Z rated tires.

Do you know of any manufacturer that sells Z rated 255 or 265/45/16's?

Any help would be greatly apreciated.
