Well I have 245/45/16 Kumho's on my stock wheels, with 2 inch drop springs. They rubbed in the fromt slightly, but that was due to worn upper strut mounts. I changed the mounts and now she's fine

255/50R16 are the largest tires you can put on stock rims. You wouldn't want them on the car though cause they're too high profile for auto-x. 245/45R16 is almost the exact same diameter as the stock 225/50R16, so those are the best choice for stock rims.

As everyone said...245/45/ZR 16's. This is the best upgraded tire size for the stock rim. Will give you much more rear end cornering capabilities over stock size. This is also the prefered size used by autocrossers.
