Default tires

Right now i have stock pony wheels with 225/55R16 tires on them and just wondering whats the widest i can go on the stock rim. Its an 89 GT and i think its 8 inches with 16 diameter not completely sure though.

255/50's work fine, but the 245/50's are a lot more common and cheaper...
