Look at the back side of the wheel for the ET #. This is the offset and stock is 30, mine are 23 and fit very well, and are 16". As BenT has said, I think you can use up to 45 without problems. As Chris suggests, a 215/65-16 (the size I'm using) is a good sized tire for the 16" set up. It usually results in about a 27" diameter, which is about 1.3" over stock so it does "hit" your power/torque. Essentially changes the gearing at the road and this is noticeable on 90hp motors.
