To much tire wall. Options below would be best combination depending on width of the wheels.
205/40-16
205/45-16
215/40-16

Hey! I've said it many times before 195-15-55 with H&R springs. You may be able to go bigger but these look good on wheelwell fill.  Gus

If you don't want to have to worry about watching the guage for speeding to do the math on what the speed difference is between ur wheels vs the guage use 185/55-15 or 205/50-15 depending on wheel width.

It is not just tire sizes. you must remember certain tires go with certain wheel widths, and if you getting a wheels make sure the width is not to much with the offset you get. just dont bank on the rotation speed difference between your wheels and stock.
