Rota Slipstreams

Hello all and thanks for your time and patience with helping me out with a question. I was wondering if it would be better to run 16X7 vs. 16x6.5 both at the 45mm back-set? Also I was wondering if i would be able to get away with running tires at the 215/55/16's I was looking at the Falken 452's or should I go with the smaller sized 205/55/16's? Right now ride is at stock height only real mod is a CAI. I was thinking of wheels/tires now, ditch the stock 16" y spokes with run-flats, then invest in a cat-back exhaust. Thanks again for your time.

Well I went ahead and ordered new slipstreams in the 16x7et40 with some falken 452's in the 205/55/16's although I can still change that to some falken 912's in the 215/50 size, but i really think that i like the 452's look and performance. Thanks anyways
