what are you looking for?
Do you want looks, better handling, softer ride, long tread life, ultimate grip, wet weather performance? And how do you drive? Are you a cruiser, or do you charge the corners, late braking and accelerating hard out of them?
These are all factors in tire choice. And there are lots to chose from.
In general, yes, by all means go to a wider tire. I have 205/55x16's on my '99 9-3 SE (daughter's ride) and they do a great job. A smaller size would definitely be a step down.
Check out different tire options at Tire Rack. Tires vary greatly in feel, performance, handling, ride, and wear so choose carefully. People here can make recommendations based on how you use the car and what you're looking for.
