what is the widest tire I go with on my stock S14 SE WHEEL without rubing? I am trying to fit the widest tires on my S14 SE wheels for my S14 SE. Totaly stock! Right now it has 205/55/16.

Instead of answering your question, let me ask if you've considered either a Falken Azenis or a Toyo RA-1 in the size you have? 205/55-16 is ultimate! Get some competition tires on factory alloys and become a road course demon in sheep's clothing!

Not really since it is my daily driver. I was look at Kumo 712 (which i have it on my GF 98 S14 SE or Sumimoto HTR (which is what I have on my 90).

225/50-16 712's for the 6.5" wheel. Buy from TireRack. :)I think that's a reasonable size.

They will rub coilovers if you run those tires. I have those wheels on my S13 and they rubbed the stock shocks. Wider is not always better. Just get a stock sized, higher grip tire.
