16 inch tires? What size?

I think I'm going to get a set of 16 inch wheels. I have been using the tire calculator and I see that 205/50/16 is a little bit too small and 215/50/16 is dead on with the stock diameter. What size would you guys suggest? I don't care if the speedo is off a little, but I don't want a lot of side wall. Would 215 rub? I want to get a tire size that will have a lot of choices to choose from. What do you think?

I think 205/50 is the way to go. 205/55 will be a too big, speedo will be off. For 215/50, I don't know if there will be any rubbing, but they may be too wide for the wheel itself and look stupid.
