Tirerack.com recommends 205/50s for your 16x7 wheels.

205 50 16 is correct.
you will be going slower than what your speedo reads, though. not by much.

What's your drop?
205/50's ideal size, but if you don't have a huge drop, it might be worth it to jump to 55's to get the gap closed up better.
Its like the 205/40 vs. 215/45 17 debate. If you've got enough drop, you can do the 40's if not do the 45's.

i have 16x7 rims and a 2.5 inch drop and 225/45/16 and no rubbing at all even on hard turns. Really depends on your offset though I think I could fit 235's with little or no rubbing.

he's asking for the tire size for 16, and you gave him this bs..
55-50, i would personally go for 55, i think* the stock number for mine is 65(chess ball potenza)

(my opinion) its more important to get your overall diameter as close to stock as possible rather then try to fill ur gap...but if u get small diamtere u gain accelration n lose max speed and vice versa...so its up to u..and if this doesnt make sense im durnk btw
