I would recommend 205/55R16 to keep the rolling diameter the same.

keep 205/55r16. or run 185/60r16 if it will fit the wheel.

it's a bit more than 3% difference from your stock wheels. so you might have problems with your traction control and braking.

myself, i wouldn't risk it to save a few bucks. not worth risking your safety.
