Default Tire sizes

What is the biggest size tire that will fit on a 91 crx without modifying anything or rubbing anywhere.

For example, will the stock tires/wheels off a newer civic fit? 225/50/16's?

The stock size is 22.6in in diameter and those are 24.9

Im trying to achieve better ride/speed on the highway because with these little stock tires im at 3k rpms at only 65mph....

Alright, so its more of a width issue than diameter?

I have a 195/60/15 and I get a load of tire rub. Swapping to a 205/50/15. Run that as it will not rub. I am also all stock suspension.

I'm lowered, running 205/50/15. The rear needed work so I used a giant hammer to solve that problem (body is getting rusty, don't care too much lol). Front seems ok.
