Default Tires???

What size tires have you guys fit under your bonne'*. I would like to fit a set of 255/50/16 under there but I dont know if they will rub or not? Does anybody have any recommendations on what size I should go for when I replace them. Its on a set of factory rims. I believe that the rims are 7" wide but correct me if I am wrong. I know on my buick I fit a set of 255/50/15 on 7" wide rims and they fit just perfect.

Whats your thoughts,

Cheers, Erik

235x55 R17 on 17x7.5 wheels look really nice, and fit good also

245 is the max you can go on the stock wheels without modification of the wheel wells
