How wide a tire can I get?

I was wondering if 235/45/16 or 245/45/16 is possible without any real issues or work.

While im on the subject, any chance 235/50/15 or 245/50/15 will work as well?

I have Eibach springs so the ride is lower... thanks anyone who can help out.

I know people have 245s on 4th gens but the stock SE 16" rim can only fit 225s from what i know.

Well, I currently have 15x6.5 rims (a pair of stock ones and a pair of rota slipstreams) but its not out of the question that I would get new rims... Just want to know what width I would be able to slap on 15s or 16s easily (figuring I would need to get rim width of maybe 7 or 7.5...) thanks
