Default 15" or 16" wheel preference for EG hatchback?

Ok so I'm deciding on picking me up some Buddy Club SF wheels and was wondering what size you guys think would look better on an EG body. I was thinking of going with 16's, but I dunno yet. Cause I've seen some cars with the 15's and they look tiny as hell. What do you guys think?

And also what size tires would look good on 16" wheels? Couldn't decide between the falken azenis 205 45's or 205 40's. Also I was checking out the yokohama paradas 205 45's. Post pics if any of a civic with Buddy Club wheels. LMK what you guys think!

15" 205/50/15

16" 205/45/16

I'm looking to put 235's (up front) on my EG for the streets

15's

i think 16's look too big on eg hatches, even with a 40 series tire.

16s can be pulled off nicely in a hatch as long as its slammed, otherwise i recommend 15s.
