You'd be hard pressed to fit 195-60-14 tires on the stock wheels, but that's 
what I had for a while, and I never had any problems with rubbing or the 
tires folding over or anything. As for max rubber... I just found out a 
friend of mine is running 16x7 panasports with 215/40-16s!!!! Yes, I will 
have to take and post some pics soon!! I'm going to be running 17x7s with 
205/40-17s, and there's PLENTY of room...
