I believe with the right spacer dimensions you can get 245's on the front. I have victoracer 225/50's on the front with no spacers now and they rub only during long hard sweepers. I think with a 1/8 spacer I can get a little bit more out of the front.
What class are you going to be running in? Unless you're in mod classes, the max tire width is 225. And actually, for stock classes, changing the tire sizes are not allowed. Just nobody pay too much attention to it. But if you stick 245 on the Contour, people's gonna notice. 
??? What stock class are you running in? Tire size can be changed all you want, wheel size cannont. I plan on taking my car to Nationals this coming year in GS. I realize I don't have a prayer, but I only run about .5 seconds off of the pace of the guy that took 8th place in GS this year. Hopefully I can afford Konis this year and that should give me the .5seconds. Don't take me for someone who only shows up to 1 or 2 autoxes a year. Feel free to run your 16's, but the first time a good driver shows up you're going to be wishing you put the money into driving schools wrather then tires and wheels.
