dfink, just a note, putting larger tires on your car is not going to increase the size of the contact patch, only change it's shape. You'll probably actually get better results (handling/traction) by getting the best/stickiest tire not the largest. If you keep the sidewall the same approx height you'll probably get better handling characteristics from a smaller tire on the same rim, ie. on a 16x7 you can fit a 245 45 16 and a 225 50 16, assuming the same tire just different sizes the 225 50 will handle better because of less flex.
If you are only or primarily interested in looks then the 245 will be fine.
