a lot of the aftermarket wheel companies recommend a 200 rear tire with the rear wheel. not for sure if you can put a 200 on a stock wheel though. and I doubt you could go much bigger than a 200.

A 200 would probably fit but I do not know of a manufacturer that makes a 200/16. Thus with a stock rear wheel the 180/65/16 is the best choice.
Most guys who are running a 200 rear tire are running a 17x6.25 rim which is 1.25" wider than the stock wheel. We had bad results with the 200 tire on an 18x5.5 rim as well. Some customers complained of a high speed wobble issue that went away when they switched back to a 180/55/18.
