tire sizes for stock FD wheels and lowered suspension

I did a search, and found nothing specific to my question, so here you go. What is the biggest tire I can run front and rear on a stock 16X8 FD wheel, with Tokico 5 way adjustable shocks and the Racing Beat lowering springs (.75 front, 1.5 rear)? I want to avoid any rubbing issues, but would like to plus size my tires. Thanks!

I'd go 225/50 front if you're lowered, 245's in the rear. Several guys use the 245's up front for autox but I they're pulling down fender lips.

So stay stock in the front, use 245 / 45 in the back. Got it. Thanks!

That's what I would suggest to not have rubbing or cracked paint issues with your fender.
