Hard to say: You can grow taller until the growth centers in your bones close. An x-ray of your wrist/hand can be examined for these growth centers. If they are open you can grow taller, if they have closed you are finished. Men usually continue until 16-18. Men are expected to reach the average of both parents height plus 2.5 in.
