I was also looking into this configuration on my 2001 SE convertible. I was told that there are only 2 maufacturers that make this size tire. Firestone and BF Goodrich. I have the (16X6.5) 5 spoke rims that came std on the car, and I was told that these tires should fit.
Wheels Works (local tire dealer in Mountain View, CA) was not very enthusiatic about these tires, and told me to stick with a size that offer better tires/manfacturers. I am also looking into 225-50-16. According to TireRack, they should fit, but I am not sure if it will cause any rubbing problems. The link for the tire size calculator is:

If you decide to go with BF Goodrich 215-50-16 tires, let me know how it handles.
