Smallest tire for stock 16" rims....??

I have all 4 of mine laying around and was wondering what the smallest tire I could run on the front. Gonna get some ET streets for the rear or some slicks.

I was just running with 215/60/16's for snow tires! (on a set of salad shooters). There definitely wasn't any sidewall "bulge" happening with those I tell ya! But they seemed to fit fine.

215's???? Wow I didn't know you could go that thin. Cool. I bet I could get some used ones for cheap.

I believe you can run 215s.... that is what was factory for my 94 3.4L v6, but I had steelies, cannot remember if they were 16x8s or 16x7s.
