You can go to tirerack.com and they have suggested fittest for wheel widths.
I envision it looking silly like this:

I wouldn't do it. Way too much sidewall will look big on that car. Tall and skinny. If you are in a jam they will do I guess.

a 60 sidewall on 225's is more in line with what you'd see on an S10 pickup, not one of our cars.

Pretty sure that's the size on my 88 GTA with the original gold rims. I bought the car with them on there. They look horrible. Don't do it. The only reason I haven't switched to the stock size is the tread is just too good to get rid of them now. I might sell them in the future but who buys ugly skinny 16 inch tires?
