Wow, looks like somebody didn't know anything about tires and just threw on the wrong size.

First of all, get four matching tires, i.e. the same make/model and size. And ALL of those tires are too big for your car. The best 16" size for your car is 205/50-16. Get four tires in that size.

And if you don't like tires that are too low in profile (presumably because you want better ride comfort), the best way to handle that is to get smaller diameter wheels (such as the 14" or 15" ones that came with the car from the factory), and NOT by buying the wrong size tires for your car.
