    I believe that is stock so yeah I'd do that
    Or 195/50/16
    Just cause I think that size is a tiny bit easier to come by.

    ehh I don't know it's your personal preference.

    I see 205/50/16's on our cars, and it looks clean, but most of them are dropped.
    If I was stock, or even dropped, I'd do 205/50 or 195/50.
    the 195/50 will be slightly more low pro.

    A lot of stretched fitment people, including myself, run 205/45/16.
    pretty damn low pro in my opinion.
    205/45 on a 17 inch rim is stock.

    okay I'll try to explain
    theres 3 numbers
    xxx/xx/xx
    The first one is how wide the tire is.
    The 2nd is the profile, but is the percentage of the first one.
    Thats means a 195/50 is a lower profile than a 205/50.
    And the last number is the rim size.

    Well how wide is your rim?

    I've seen 185/55/16 on a 7" wide rim. far from stretch.
    If you google it, i believe there is a gallery containing stretch fitments.

    I'd keep it stockish as much as possible.
    195/50/16 is enough low pro in my opinion.
    Especially if you're stock height.
    The lower profile tire you go, the more fender/wheel gap you'll have which looks blehh in my opinion.

    The 205/45 is too undersized in my opinion.
    Unless you want to slammm your car, dont get it
    Just my opinion though.

    I say the 195/50 if low pro is what you're aiming for.

    205/45/17 is stock
    Many people, including my self, run 215/45/17.

    As far as specific brands, I got nothing.
    I think the Falken 912's are great for the price.
    Affordable, and they last decently long.
