Are you just wanting a wider tire?

IMO you could go 215/55/16 and have a little less sidewall roll and it should improve responsiveness. I believe those stock wheels are either 5.5" or 6" , either way those 2 sizes will fit.

i went from 195/60R15 (this wheel comes stock with a 195/60R15 tire) to a 205/55R15... almost perfect for keping the calibration of the speedo correct, and it looks a lot better.
