Hey man, a good size is 205/50/16 or 215/45/16. The 205 is a common size that matches well with a 7" wide rim.

thanks I think tirerack.com suggested 205/45/16 are the 215s a better choice?

There just abit wider then 205, the sidewall may be abit smaller, but not to much. I still recommend 205/50's though

I'm running a 225/45/16 but my stock size was 205/55/15. anyway the tires don't rub and the car handle's like it's on rails.

205/45/16 and only rub under really hard cornering and huge bumps.

the tires available in 215/45/16 are among the grippiest street tires currently available.
either 215/45/16 you choose is going to put a smile on your face
