I also have a 91 LX with 16" ponys and I am running 245/50/16 all the way around and they fit good with no rubbing and the car is lowered. I'm sure that you could probably go bigger but for that size rim that is what i would go with.

255/55 is way too big to me...WAY too much sidewall there.

as stated before, 225/55/16 is the stock size, 245/50/16 is the biggest I would go.

I love my G-Force Sports... They come in a million different sizes, too.
