205/40/16 will give you the widest tire without rubbing and the right sidewall height to keep your speedo as accurate as possible.

I'd get the 16" wheel combination and make sure you get 16x7" with 42-44mm offset to prevent rubbing.

Re: TIRE SIZES who knows this??
Well it depends on what size the original tires are. Like with the '92-'95 CX and VX; the correct tire size would be 195/50/15. It's because they came with 175/70/13 tires on there. The 175/70/13 would have a radius of 287.1mm. The 195/50/15 would have a radius of 288mm. And the 195/55/15 would have a radius of 297.75mm. So the 195/50/15 would be a lot closer to the 175/70/13, than the 55's. Of course that's not anything to do with the rubbing question, but for speedo and odometer accuracy.
