   Ideally, you want either 195/45/15 or 195/40/16... you may find the profile of each of them options a little too large

   With the 15's as said above you'd need the 195/45/15's but with the 16's you can get away with the 45's but if your car is lowered it may cause problems with catching on the arches.

   16's look alot better imo but as said you would need 195/40/16 tyres.

   I agree 16's look better, but the tyres on 40 profiles are so expensive! Doesnt stop me having them though
   
   Also I dont think you need to go lower than 55mm
