Default Tire sizes for a del Sol

I need to purchase some new tires in the near future and was wondering if some 205/50/R<U>16</U> would fit? what about 215/45/r16? anyone shed some light. My sol is dropped on progress springs but i still have about 2.5 finger gap all the way around.

I've got 205/40/r16 on right now and i hate the harsh ride, do you think that 205/45/16 would be any better or should i go with the 215/45/16. I was thinking es100's or azenis sports. any suggestions?

205/50/16 is probably too tall, u might have clearance problems. Try 205/45/16, you could probably also fit 215/45/16 if has a rounded edge from the tread to the sidewall.
