Just got some 16" rims... but need help with tire si

Hey everyone,

I am at a loss so I'd greatly appreciate your help! I have just got 16" slipstreams but the tires that came with them (205-40-16) is too small. I will be getting the Tein S-tech springs... can you guys recommend the tire size I should get to fill the gap nicely after the drop? Any help/pics is greatly appreciated!!

Maybe 205/50-16 will do?

I have 16" Rotas too. I went with 205/50/16 Kumho 711's. They were $330 mounted and balanced. Here's a picture for your reference:
