I'd think what you'd want to mount would be 225/50-16 tires/

Well, the 205/65/15 are about 25.5" tall. Goto http://www.paspeedo.com and you can see that 245/50/16 is probably the best bet. If you are afraid of rubbing, maybe 235/50/16. But you can play with it, then do a search of specs on each tire, and narrow what you want from there.
