How wide of a tire can I fit on my stock steelies?
92 sedan, right now I have 175/70/R13 crap tires on there and they squeal when I take a corner not even going that fast. I was hoping that I could fit some wider tires on there to help with launches. Can I fit 185? 195? How big can I go? All I've ever had on the stock wheels are 175's.

Sumitomo HTR 200 comes in a 205/60/13.
They are a little wide, but they will fit(I have personally seen it).
*edit- check out Tirerack.com.

wider wont help much but getting better tires will. the issue you run into is that very few performance tires, the ones that wont squeal when you take a corner slow, and will let you take corners fast, come in a 13". if you _simply_must_ have steelies, at least get 14" because then you have a few options such as the yokohama es100, and falken azenis come in a *few* 14" sizes.
but if you are dead set on running the mostly **** tires available in 13 but think getting wider will help, you may be able to fit up to about 185 section width on there.

205/60/13 has virtually the same outer diameter as 175/70/13. the 205/60 is 1/10" larger. no it wont drop his car. but that tire size isnt approved for 5" wide rims, only 5.5"-7.5"

you cant fit 205/60/13 on 13x5 rims. pretty much the only tire in that size needs a 13x5.5
*edit* there are some R-compound tires in a 13" size, most needing a wider rim though, and not recommended for street use because of warmup time needs and little breakaway warning.

What you can fit and what is "recommended" is two completely different things.
You CAN put 205's on your 5" wide steelies. I HAVE SEEN IT.
