If your profile is correct in that you have a '91, then the widest tires normally put on the 88-96 cars are 17x11" wide wheels in 50mm offset with either 315/35-17 tires or 335/35-17. The 335's are a little wider, but still work. You'll have minor rubbing in the front at full lock, which isn't of much concern, and if you're lowered in the rear you might have rubbing with the inner fender well. Nothing a dremel, or heat gun, doesn't fix.
