you can put a 225/50/16 on it though many tire places will say no to doing it or tell you you shouldnt because it is outside of the specs of the wheel. I ran it for near 200k no issues.

Wheels and tires are not interchangeable words...are you asking about new wheels or new tires on stock wheels?

Wheels? I wouldn't go above 19".

Tires? That depends on the wheels...

Tires? I'd say keep it 205/60/16 since tires are plentiful, cheap, and handle fairly well. (I did see 215/60/16 ... they will work as well ... I mention this since I see a set of Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S come in that size ... with the right speed and weight rating for a TL)

Rims? There are several threads out there. Check out Tire Rack if you want an idea of what can fit on your TL. (I'd keep your stock rims for winter tires and a decent set of rims / tires for the summer)
