215/40/16 on a 16x7 rota gt3

That's the wrong size; the outer diameter is too small. The proper 16" tire size for your car is 205/45-16 or 215/45-16. Since your car is lowered, I would get a tire that comes in 205/45-16.

No. Tires tend to look stretched when the rim is at the high end of the approved rim width for the model/size tire, and they tend to look bulging at the low end. Most 205/45-16 tires are approved for rims that are 6.5-7.5 inches wide, so it should look perfect on a 16x7.
