Thinking about switching to 16 inch wheels, what are my tire size options.

Currently I am running 215/40/17 and I am thinking of going to a 16 inch wheel. My 06 is dropped an inch and I want to fill the wells nicely with no rubbing. What are my size options and what is the advantage of the option?

The stock size would be the tallest of the group. I'd sugest 205/50's and lower the car a tad to remove the gap.
