Default Tire Help, (searced and want some more opinions)

I am getting rid of my 17" konig heliums, and am getting these


they are 16x7 black racing pro-n1's, they ae going on a 97 civic, with
about a 2-2.5 inch drop front and rear

i am getting a wheel/tire package and and the three choices i have are:

195/50/16

225/50/16

205/45/16

which of these would be the tallest for my whole wheel/tire combo, which
is the widest, and what do you reccomend in general??

what i really want is something that will make my car lower and something moderately wide but not too wide.....

thanks for anwers

(btw i searched and found some info, but wanted more)
search is my friend

Yes but this size is closet to the factory size in overall diameter. If you use the othe sizes your speedometer could be off more. It might not bother you but i try to keep things as close to stock as possible because it was designed that way.
