I've got 16x8's with a 50 series tires. you could prolly go up to a 60 but you might have a bit of clearance issues in the front and they'd be pretty low. I like to keep the wheel well filled in.
the widest 16" made is 255, so you get a whole 10mm wider than factory.... - 60 series would be taller, but not wider, and unless you're geared short enough taller tires will hurt performance.
- They do make wider in some specialty race tires, but then you'll need a wider wheel for them to fit.
