Default biggest tire width on stock rim

Hey guys, i just ordered coilovers for my car. It's black with chrome 6 spoke 16's. at the moment i'd rather spend $3,000 on a 1jz, then on a nice set of jdm rims, and still have no power.

So my plan was to slam it where it tucks the tires, do all of the camber adjustment, and use wheel spacers to get the stock wheels flush and roll the fenders. it will look aggressive, but stock at the same time. like a really good sleeper.

so my question is, what is the widest tire i can run on the stock rim? i currently have 225/55/16 all the way around. i want to keep 225 up front then maybe 235 or even 245 in the back.

any input?

My oem rims are 16x6.5" and I believe the widest that will fit on them is 225. Most 245 tires require a minimum width of 7"

245/50r16 will mount but the side wall will look pinched.I don't really recommended it.The tire won't wear right.
