if I remember right, 225/50 on a 16in rim is the same diameter as the stock tire and rim. Thats what I have on the front of mine now, and theres plenty of clearance.

It depends on the tire. Some tires have a wider section width than others. I run 225/60/15 Yokohama AVS dB on the front. No rubbing, but maybe 1/8" clearance to the spring perches.

I run 225/50R16s all around - fits and looks great. I'd go with Falken Azenis; they've got a great price for an even better tire 
Don't go 225/45R16s, as it'll make your speedo read high for little to no gain.
