I have 195/65/16's and they give about the same rolling radius as stock wheels , with the added advantage of being available in commercial form

195 commercials will not go on 8" wide wheels....

For 8" x 16" alloys use 225/55/16 extra load tyres(92+ load rating...higher rating the better).Exactly the same rolling radius as the standard wheel/tyre combo.
