Cool Bought the wheels, now need some help with tire size

Hi, I just got some OZracing wheels for my 2002 EX sedan. Size 16, light weight (around 5.5 kg). Got some pictures too:

Now I need to pick the right size for the tires. First I was thinking of 205/50. Then my friends are saying to get either 215's or 225's as they would grip better for the drag races. I have the SF turbo kit (currently being installed). I am also getting the B&G's coilovers and would be dropping the car a bit. This car is my everyday driver and the weekend drag/street monster.

So I need some opinions on what size should I get for the tires......

Thankx!

For drag racing, buy 2 rims with drag slicks.
For the street, 205/50/16 is the closest to stock you can do.

Thanks for appreciating the rims guys

I guess I'll go with 205/50 for now (or maybe 215/45 if I get a good price)
