I would think 225s would rub... I think 215s might be ok with 16inchers... maybe...

with 225s you are probably going to have to go a 40 series tire.. a 205 on a 16 inch rim needs a 45 series tire

a set of 205's or 215's should be plenty wide...225 would look mean but it may be a little too much...depending on what you have

i think someone needs to make a sticky adressing ALLL possible wheel/tire/rim/etc. specs cuz we are having way too many of these threads about "would these 18's fit?" "what if i made them 255?" "etc.".

i would imagine 215/40/16 would fit, i get minor rubbing with 215/40/17 so i switched them to the rear, ive also got b+g springs..... but this is just my guess, it doesnt mean it would work on your car
