I'll assume you're talking about the stock 13x5.5's on the S, GS, and GSL. I believe that I've heard the largest tire size that will fit comfortably is 205/60 R13. A great resource is www.1010tires.com. They have a tire sizing chart that tells you what tire/rim size combos will fit within the +-3% standard tolerance.
