Default Rims and Tire Question

can someone tell me what to look for when i buy some rims. like what numbers will fit my car. and what each numbers mean.

Also can someone explain to me whats the difference (in inches) are 225-235-245- tires and so on. how much wider is each tire than the other. i know when a tire reads 225/30/16 it means the tire is 225 wide, 30% wheel wall/ hieght of width. and the 16 is the size of the rim.

235/245/255...in mm...but no one uses inches to refer to the tire size...On you GS, you can do 245 front and 275 easily. You can do even larger but then you're getting into a trickier situation with offsets and possible fender mods...
