According to the specs, the BFG 215/50's fit the same envelope as the stock Michelin 205/50's. Tirerack.com has specs on most tires, check out the mfr's web pages for comparison.
Unless you have a really high tolerance for noise, avoid the Potenza RE730's (unless you want to buy mine with 10k miles on 'em.....). They are sticky and have help up well under minor autocrossing, but are seriously noisy at ~32 and 58 mph. Tread patterns with large blocks and regularly spaced open areas will be noisy.
Some folks use 205/55's, most without any rubbing issues.
