I know you can get to 18 or 19" /8.5's without a problem. I don't know if you can put larger 9.5 or 10's on the sedan. I imagine Luke@tirerack can answer that question for you. He's very helpful and I got a great set of tires/wheels from him.

If you want to keep your stock wheels, and do a plus 0 on them (getting wider tires that fit your wheels without throwing off the overall diamater) I am afraid there are no ther options besides 255/55/16. I beleive they will fit your rim, but there are only 2 tires avaialable in that size. The tires are:

1.) Pirelli Scorpion Zero V-rated truck tires at $110 each

or

2.) General XP 2000 II RWL H-rated at $69 each.

Good Luck. Also might want to check if they clear your stock wheels offsets and that you have enough clearance. Thats where Luke Comes in.

Although the 255 will maintian the proper diameter it will rub the suspension in the front with your factory wheels. Stay with the 235's or upgrade your wheels.
