205/45 16 is a good size for a 16" wheel. you can go wider im sure...play around with this calculator to visually see differences between sizes.

I'm running 205/40/16 Falkens (not sure which ones)
but the rims are 5Zigen Fighters.
and they fit well, i'm not sure about 215, but that'll be a nice tire size.

205 is a good width
if you want some super low profile that you can pop ur tires on road reflectors go with 40
i went with 205,50,16

215/40/16 yields the same diameter as the stock 14" wheel with the stock 185/60/14 tire.
as long as your wheel is at least 6.5" wide you can fit the 215 tire.
