Default what's the biggest tires u can run on OEM rims?

I was just wondering what the biggest tires you can run on the OEM wheels? i am thinking about a new rim/tire setup but if the $$$ isnt there than i will be forced to just go with new tires. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. oh i am not lowered at all so i dont have tonworry about rubbing or any of those issues. thanks again.

You can go with 225/50R16 front and 245/45R16 rear no problem on the OE wheels.
Let me know if I can help.

hello jim,
Is the height of the tire going to be the same if I use 245/45R16 for the rear? What's the difference with stock size, the width? I would like to use wider rear tires, but would like the same stock tire height, which is best?

thanks

Are you sure this is for 16" AP1 wheels
Can I fit this with no problems/rubbing.....?

And Im looking at getting Direzza Star Spec Z1's again, good choice?

They aren't available in 245/45/16. Your best option is to stick with stock sizes and get a quality tire, like the Star Spec.

I agree. If you want the best available tires the OE sizes are the best bet.
