need to know the original and new rim width and size to give any help
225 will clear the fenderlip on the 00-01, 235 have to mod the rear fender tab a bit and still scrapes (thats my situation)
but you may be able to get wider-yours has 17s? with what on them now?
You can look up what will fit on a certan width at www.tirerack.con or similar online store

235 45 17 or 245 45 17...the 245 are actually the same height as your stock 16 in tires...just alot wider..either one would work

the factory tires are pretty much low profile considering. I believe like stated above, they are 235/45/17

Well you cant go with a larger sidewall as you will be throwing your speedo off. You have to make sure the tires width and aspect ratio are correct to keep the speedo accurate.

my post was more aimed at the sidewall height...

225/235 would be an ok fit for 8" width...
