I honestly like the factory Touring rims on my 2016 sedan, but when it comes time for tires, is there a more aggressive sportier looking tire available that looks and rides great? thanks guys

Check out the Yokohama YK740 GTX. It's got good reviews on Discount. I like Yokohama tires for traction. Plus it has a 60k mile warranty.

im not sure of the stock size of this tire on the Touring, but I want a different size tire on it that will fit the factory rim. Just something a little more sporty looking

Do you plan on driving them through winter? If so, I used the Continental DWS06 and they worked very good this winter for the record snowfalls in Alberta. Another very good choice is General Gmax AS-05. Both tires have good reviews for winter performance as well as wet.
You could up the size to a 245/45/17 on the factory 7 inch wide rims. This would be the widest you could go while maintaining virtually the same diameter as stock.

235/45/17 is about the limit on a 7” wide rim

Yep sticky stock sized tire is better than a wider all season tire any day.
