You can fit any size wheel you want on a Roc, I have seen people crazy enough to ride on 18's

From a performance stand point 15's is the biggest I and a lot of others feel one should go. 15's are lighter (means less unsprung weight which is always good), will allow you to put more tire on the wheel then a 16 or up, and will handle a better on the road (from my experience and from other people statements).
But like it the saying goes different strokes for different folks http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Re: Lowest I can go on 16's (HowlinMonkey)
why do you feel you need 16x9s?
i have 16x7's with a 95mm front 105mm rear drop
no rubbing. (well a little tiny bit)
i have 205-40s on 7" wide, and they look fine. if you had a 9" wide, 205 would look bad. too stretched to fit on that wide of a rim. you be better suited with a 9" wide to go with a 225, or even a 235 width.
but then again, 235 is waaaay to wide for the rear of a rocco. think of all that rolling resistance...
