Default What size tires for Rota's on 16's?

I am about ready to purchase some Rota Subzero's for my EG hatch.
I'm going with the 16x7 +40mm, but have run into some trouble finding tires.
The car will be on Eibach Sportlines/AGX Adjustables.
What are people running with?
205/50-16?
205/45-16?
205/40-16?
Also, what make and model. I know Azenis come in 215/45-16, and 205/50-16. I don't think I want to go with 215.
Please help! Nitto? Kumho? Falken?

Do you drag race? If so get some nitto 555r's. I have them in size 205/45/16, they're very nice.

actually, to be honest, the car is going to be more for day to day use. my EG is pretty much running on Flinstone power.. it's not that fast
do you think the 215's will rub? i've heard a lot of good things about the azenis (how is it in the rain?).

Hi, i think 205/45/16's are good, thats what i have with yokohama paradas and i am happy with them. I think the 215/45/16's have a good chance of rubbing because my 205/45/16's rub a little bit on hard turning with 1.75 drop. But i'm not sure it depends on how low you are.
