If your looking to jack your car up by putting higher profile tires then i think you bought the wrong car.
As far as clearance problems, the stock setup shouldn't have any problems moving to the S03 225/55 for the rear, that would add almost 1" diameter or 1/2" more rim protection. But there isn't anything substantially taller for the front without also increasing it's footprint thereby throwing off the balance of the car.
You really need to figure out which tires you want to run or what sizes you want and then see what's available.
Use the Tirerack specs pages to help you figure it out.

The only thing to keep in mind is that you should try to increase the front and rear by the same amount and know that your speedometer/odometer will not be correct.

Do you want to go wider or taller? I am not sure what you mean when you say bigger. I would say don't go taller but you can run 225/50R16 front and 245/45R16 rear no problem.
If I can help let me know.

I'm surprised Tirerack doesn't have some web reference that shows tire size & maximum tire width you can fit. It would be great to look up on a chart and see (for example) that on a 7" wide wheel your widest tire would be a 225.
