Question Tyre Size Recommendation

I'm looking for a set of new tyres for my 1993 Sierra Sedan. Currently running on 16 inch rims (can't remember the offset but most likely et35 and 8 inch wide) with 195/50 front and 195/55 rear. What's the max width I can run without rubbing and rolling the fenders? Car is slightly lowered on front.

Thanks for the suggestions. I went ahead and bought a set of 205/45 16 PremiumContact6. Glad to know that 225s fit so maybe I'll go bigger with the next set of tyres.
