You might be able to physically mount wider tires on a 16x7 rim, but they may cause problems for your car, including rubbing on the fender well and/or suspension, inaccuracy of the speedometer/odometer, slower acceleration if they have a larger outer diameter, etc. So one tire size might be fine on one kind of car, but might cause big problems on another.

205/45-16 (0.8 percent smaller than the stock 195/55-15) or 215/45-16 (0.7 percent larger than the stock 195/55-15).

There are a lot more tire choices available in 205 than 215.

The 215/45/16 will fit on the 7 inch wide wheel and will fit your vehicle. However, you don't have many choices in tires in that size. The Dunlop Direzza DZ101 is available at $108 each plus shipping from Tire Rack.
