probably a 205/55/16 should do the trick. Search tire web sites, and get a good idea. The Falken tires could be good, the BFG G-force sports are a good tire.

right on.
Theh 205/50 size is proper. I told you 205/55 due to you mentioning "thickness" to the tire ... which the 55 profile would give you a slightly more comfortable ride, however would be slightly more heavier of a tire + would mess up your speedo reading.

Bottom line is a 17 is gonna ride hard. I have popped the seal and loss air on a simple man-hole cover!
