Largest size street tire for 16" What is the biggest size tire you can run safely on the back of a T/A with stock 16" wheels and without worrying about hitting the wheel-well? This is my daily driver and I will just be buying a nice set of street tires but I want them to be big and aggressive looking.

Right now I believe I had 245/50/16 on the front and rear and they are small to me. I believe a friend had some 285's or something of that sort and they look awesome on the back.

Anything wider than 255 will not fit on a stock 16x8 wheel safely.
I've seen 275's but they buldge alot

I have heard awesome things about the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires and they are very reasonable. I think I am going to try out a set for the rear sometime soon once I decide on the size.
