I would go with 205/45/16 both from a width on the rim and overall height point of view.

205/45/16 is nice too. 215 MIGHT rub but not unless your car is dumped.

I have 16x7 50mm offset rims with 225/40-16s on them.

215s will fit no problem.

Im not sure whats available in that size. I was gonna shop around a bit to see whats available once I narrowed the size down. I dont need anything crazy, these are just going to be a second set of wheels.
