Thank you for the guidance.

It's looking like 225/50 is the only option that allows me to get grippier summer tires as an option (continental extreme contact sport, yokohama advan, potenza re71, etc...).

Unfortunately at stock ride height the front of my car slightly scrapes on my driveway, so anything to get another half inch of ride height may end up helping me there. However, when I look at the taller 215/55 or 225/55 sizes, there aren't any performance options. It does seem like 225/55 would solve the scraping problem so I may end up going that route anyway.

Regarding rims, I'm now looking at 16x7, either Volk CE28 ($480 per rim shipped) or TWS T66-F ($575 per rim shipped), both seem to be +48 offset.

So currently I am leaning towards TWS T66-F for max weight reduction and Continental DWS06 all season 225/55 for a slight ride height increase to hopefully stop the scraping on my driveway.
