The normal size for snow tires on a 9-5 is 215/55/16. One size smaller should be OK. To be safe check the load rating for the tire...versus the weight of the car loaded and not loaded. I believe you should be OK.
As always, keep the tires properly inflated and check them when cold every 1-2 weeks. If one tire is 5-10 psi lower than the others this is a tip that you have a slow leak...usually a nail. Even if you used 215/55/16 size tires, improper inflation negates the margin of safety you thought you had.
