You do realize that this question gets asked frequently right?
So,is the suspension stock?,are the TII rims the 16 inch wheels?

FAQ's has the stock tire size.
you can't go too much larger after that without hitting something.
Consider this a Bump.I like wrenches..not rubber!.

Stock wheels are 7" wide. That limits you to about a 225 width tire. IMO, they look a bit pudgy, but fit.

Grab a tasty beverage and head on over to this thread.

on 17's you can do 225/45/17 and 235/40/17 nicely on a 7-8 inch wheel.
If you stagger the offset then it depends on offset.
I got a 31 offset on 17x8 Momo (mustang) wheels and the wheels are fine.

in my opinion (and from what i've seen) 205s work on a 7-inch wheel and 45 sounds about right for the aspect ratio.
