i would say if your lookin for a comfy ride go with a 15 or 16 inch rim that is rather wide go with a 205/50 tire, if you wan big go to 17's with a 205/40

IMHO, anything bigger than 18's look horrible on an xa

205/40/27 is way too small.

Start with http://www.tirerack.com/ and http://www.1010tires.com/ use the filters on the websites to pick your car and they will automatically size the rims and tires for you. You can go 15, 16, 17, 18 or even 19's for the rims and the tire size will vary depending upon your rim choice.

Good luck finding white wheels, they are hard to find sometimes. I know the Motegi RT-5 is made in white and is a cool 5 spoke pattern.
