The best matching sizes are either 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 with 16-inch wheels, and 205/40-17 with 17- inch wheels. You can find plenty of excellent street tires (summer tires, all-seasons, and winter tires) in sizes to fit either size wheels.

I like both sizes of wheels and both can look good depending on your drop and what wheel you choose. For a street tire, most popular brands can be had in both a 16 and 17 inch sizes. Kumho SPT, Toyo T1R, Falken 615, etc.
I opted for a 17x7.5 since that was the smallest size when I ordered my Time Attacks.

I really like the 215/40's I ran those on my DA with not 1 problem.
Let alone the grip was surprisingly great!

I ran that size on a 7.5" rim before and it worked out fine. Tire was nicely stretched over the rim. Only issue is that the rim is exposed since the sidewall is smaller. I'd die if I curbed my rims
. However, pricing and availibility favors the 205
