In order to maintain proper speedometer readings, you have to chose a tire size that is cloase to the same diameter of the stock tires. The profile will be dictated by the width of the tires.

The Stock Tires are 215/65/16 = 27" diameter

To be close to that with a 50 tire you would need:

235/50/18 = 27.25" diameter
255/50/18 = 27.04' diameter

Either are with in the 2% recommendation
