For reasonably priced tires,the Kumho 712's are a fine choice. I have also heard from some die-hard autocrossers that the Falken Azenis (sp?) are even better and cost less (http://www.onlinetire.com is one source).
I have 712 205/50/16's w/SPG springs on my car and I get occasional rubbing. If you have passengers in the back seat a lot, my guess is you're probably better off w/195's.
I bought my Super Aero rims cuz I wanted more tire on the road, not necessarily for the look (tho they do look sharp). If I were to do it again, I'd probably look in to a wider 15" rim from a newer 9000 - I think there are several 6-6.5" wide rims out there but dunno for sure...
