    Tire size for 98

    I finally decided that I wanna get 16's for my 98 rolla, but I'm not sure what tire size I should get. I was torn between 205/45/16 (in theory the same wheel diameter as the OEM rim/tire) and 205/50/16 (a little bit more rubber on the road since it is a daily driver)...then I went to discounttiredirect.com and according to them I could fit a 215/45/16....is this true? and which size (out of those 3) do you recommend?

    all input is appreciated.

    205/45/16 is ideally what you should get, anything else and you will have calibration issues with your speedometer.
