I have found the following regarding tire sizing.
http://www.ajdesigner.com/fl_tire/tire.php

215/45R-17(OD =24.62", circumference =77.34", tread /section width =8.4",side wall height= 3.81")

205/55R16 (OD 24.88, circumference 78.2", tread /section width 8.07", side wall height =4.44", 60.6mph compared to 60 mph for the 215/45R-17)

195/55R-16 (OD 24.4", circumference 76.8",tread /section width 7.68", side wall height 4.22", 59.6mph compared to 60 mph for the 215/45R-17))

15" wheels are too small

5x100 bolt pattern for wheels.

I thought I had copied that down incorrectly, so now corrected 24.88 diameter for the 205/55R-16! Circumference is correct.
