The biggest tire on a 16" wheel? SMH Each wheel has a proper tire size. Any other size will be improper and will likely cause problems. Throwing your speedometer off, affecting handling, causing rubbing, etc.

+1 the size to 225/50/r16 (stock rim offset)

they fit. go any bigger and you will begin rubbing, you could trim, but it would be better to change the off set.
