205/45/16 will keep your tire diameter close to stock, meaning your speedo and odometer will be correct. A 50 series tire would be too tall, and your speedo would read a few miles per hour low, not to mention looking a little goofy.
I have 205/45/16 Kuhmo Ecstas on my car. I like them pretty well. They have decent grip, good wet-weather performance, and a pretty good treadwear rating. And they were relatively cheap. It takes a couple hundred miles to break them in, though. They won't grip as well in the beginning.
