fitment help ! 16×8 +25
 
Found some local Volks I love but worried about the aggresive offset. I am on NM springs with Helix adjustable rear links but stock front plate. Not a fan of the stretched look but how wide/tall of a tire can I go with and not have rubbing issues ???

If you have 16x8" wheels then with stock suspension, 225/50-16 will fit.

Once you lower suspension the wider wheel plus tall tire diameter will not leave enough clearance.

If you are only doing limited street driving and don't mind faster treadwear or a rough and stiff ride quality then Extreme Summer or streetable Race tires will come in-

225/45-16 Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec/Toyo Proxes R1R (Extreme Summer) tire diam. 23.8"
215/45-16 Kumho Ecsta XS/BFG Rival (Extreme Summer) 23.6" tire diameter
245/45-16 Toyo Proxes R888 race tire, 100 treadwear, 24.4" tire diameter. May rub if suspension is very low.

215/40-16 Yokohama S.Drive 22.7" tire diameter
225/45-16 Nexen N'Fera SU1 (UHP summer tire), 300 treadwear, 23.9" tire diameter is slightly less than OEM for more clearance.

Thanks for the reply. Going to go with a less aggresive set up as I want wider tires
