Tire help

Hi Guys, I'm a new member to this forum and although I don't have a Toyota, I just bought my son one. It is a black 2005 Corolla S. When I got this it had some aftermarket wheels on it. They are 8" wheels and they have 195/65/16 tires on them.

They are too small to look good with those rims and since he's now ready for some new tires I was wondering about some recommendations. What size can I go with that will look good with these rims and clear anything under the car that may be in the way.

I can tell you all about 1995 Vette rims and tires. 315/35-18 rear and 285/40-17 front and I can tell you all about 1995 Impala SS rims and tires 335/30-18's but I don't have a clue about little tires.

I was thinking about 225-245 width but I'm just not sure of the fitment. Thanks a lot for any help. ---Gunny---

The 195/65-16's are also too tall at nearly 26" outer diameter. It should be close to stock 25" diameter... You could go with 225/50-16.
8" wheels are a bit wide. What is their offset?
