You will probley need to have the rear fenders rolled if it is lowered, stock height it should be fine. Your car should have come w/ 205/60-16 the closest to stock would be a 215/45/18 about 1/2 mph slower then the Speedo reads. You can also go with 225/45/18 and it would be about 1/2 mph faster then the Speedo reads. A good all around tire IMHO is Yokohama S. Drives they have a semi aggressive tread pattern, little road noise, and they only weigh 23 about pounds each for 225/45/18 :)

I am currently running 17x8 w/ 40mm offset with 225/45/17 tires. The front tire sits level with the front fenders. The back tire rubs the rear fender lip when going over bumps if I have 3 adults in the rear seat but my car is also lowered 1.3 inches in the rear w/ 2 22 pound subs.

The 225/45-18 is like 4mm (.28 inches ) Taller then the 205/60-16
The 215/45-18 is like 3mm (.21 Inches ) Shorter then the 205/60-16

Great place to compare tire sizes and how they affect your Speedo
