The 205/45/16 is the correct size to get for a 16" rim and will give you about .800% error which is the closest you will get to stock using a 16" rim.

As far as tires are concerned, the tire you choose should depend on what type of driving you will be doing with the car. Generally the tires with the higher treadwear tend not to grip as much as the tires with the lower treadwear and tires with lower treadwear grip better but do not last as long. I think if you just plan on getting decent tires for daily driving that are not overly expensive are the Kumho Ecsta Supra's. They are not that great of a performance tire but for a 16" low profile tire they are rather decent at roughly $70 a piece.

I am going with the Bridgestone RE730's for my car because I will be auto-x'ing but I will be putting the Kumho's on my 16" "show" wheels just because I dont want to spend a ton on some tires that I will be using just to daily drive on.
