Default Tire width question

I have a set of 16 by 7.5 GT rims. I was wondering what the widest tire size i could run would be. And as for tires i would like some opions. I was looking at Firestone Wideovals or Nitto 555 Drag Radials. i know this is prolly like comparing apples to oranges but i would like some opions. thanks

I think the widest I would try with that rim width would be a 235 or 245. I have 17 X 9's on mine and they came with 245's, but I was able to squeeze on a pair of 275 BFG DR's on the back. The BFG's are sticky as hell, if you heat them up a little, they pick up every little stone, so watch out for that, but, they really grip that pave.
