Not the best size for a good choice of winter or all weather tyres. The smallers wheels size with deepest profile tyres is 15-inch steel wheels with 195/65 R15 tyres and wheel covers next size: 16-inch alloy wheels with 205/55 R16 tyres.
I'd go for the 16s. www.tyremen.co.uk will sell you a set of Alutec wheels that size. Best winter tyres Vredestein EWintrac or Michelin Alpin. Best all weather: Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons or Vredestein Quatracs.
