16x6.5 Wheels - Need Advice on Tire Size

OK, folks. I've finally succumbed to my wife's ranting about the wheels and tires on her 2000 Aero wagon. So, I ordered 5 of the 16x6.5 "snowflake" wheels today. They'll be here next week. Now I hope somebody can tell me what is the LARGEST (sidewall height is of primary importance, tread width secondary) tire size I can put on these puppies without scraping the wheel wells. I don't want to trust the NTB folks in my area - they'll just try to sell me what they have.
Also, I will probably change the shocks to stiffen the ride and help handle nasty road conditions (pot-holes, bumps, etc.). I'm afraid softer shocks will cause bottoming out as she careens around town. Any adivce on tires and or shocks would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
