Performance tire sizes in 16s have pretty much dried up over the years . I wouldn't even bother.
A lot of wheels cast wheels offered, don't have the optimal offset (+6 to +8mm) for our cars. You also have to take into account the alignment specs, type of front brakes (discs move the track width out), camber gain, and ride height.
Safe would be 225/50R17 on 17x8s front and 245/45R17 on 17x9 rear if the offset is not less than 0mm. But if you can get the +6 to +8mm offset, you should be able to run 235/45R17 and 255/45R17.
P.S. Don't try to run any tire < 25.5" O.D. It's way too short and looks awkward no matter how low you adjust the ride height - seen it in person.
