Tires

well, from the service manual (1995 model) the standard rims are 16 x7.5jj all around and the turbo model has 16 x 8.5 in the back and 7.5s in the front
the offsets are 45 on the 7.5s and 35s on the 8.5s

recommended tire width on the car is 225 on the N/A and 225front and 245 back on the TT.

Please correct me if im wrong guys but im pretty sure you can go to 245 all around on the 7.5inch rims but id do a 245/45r16 tire instead of a 245/50r16

any bigger than that and you might have sidewall stability problems and or rubbing on suspension components i.e. the springs or the body parts like the inner wheel well or the fender lip.
