Whatever works best with your suspension setup, or offers best tyres for you..
15's with 205/50 will work well

I run 15" with 195/50 tyres as they're so much cheaper than most other sizes.

7Jx15 Rims. 4x100 PCD. 57.1mm Centre Bore. Normal (original) offset is ET25, but many people are happy with up to ET15. We run a 205/50R15 Semi-slick Yokohama in Australia, the Americans run a 205/50R15 Toyo in SpecE30 on the same size rim.

215, but you wouldn't. It won't do anything for the handling if the tyre width exceeds the rim width.

205 is all you need.
