Yes, stick to the stock width tire, 225/55/16, you will be better off. I have the 245/50 on mine and they dont look much wider at all, they only serve to make the car unstable in corners. The inside of my tires are about 3/8" from the quad shocks. Any wider, and you should prolly flip the quads for more clearance. If you want wider tires for looks, then get wider rims first. If you just want traction, then go with a drag radial in the correct width for the rim. wider is not better, softer rubber is better. I used to think that way too, go as wide as possible, but it wont net you better traction, especially on a rim that is too narrow. The tread wont sit flat on the road and they will wear funny too.
