Default What is the "best looking" tire size to put on the 16 inch OEM GS300 wheel?

I am about to put my stocks back on and wanted to know what is the "best looking" tire size to put on the 16" wheel from a 2nd GEN. I don't have my
1st GEN stock wheels. I have a 96 1st GEN. Thanks!

I have Toyo Proxes 4 size 225/50/16 on my stock chrome wheels and they look nice. The speedometer is off a little but the car gets going a little quicker, less rotational mass.

First, Thanks guys! So, whats the real difference between 225/50 and 225/60? I don't have a drop or anything. It is all stock. Is one wider or taller than the other? I do want to fill out the wheel well and not have the wheels so far "tucked in".

The 225/50 is two profile sizes lower than the 225/60, so you'll have less side wall and more fender gap but the car will handle a little better in the corners and get moving a little quicker under acceleration.
