As you only have 2WD you do not have to worry (too much) about different sizes front and rear whilst sorting things out.

215/60 - 16 is almost exactly the same circumference as the standard 215/65 - 15 and keeps your gearing and speedo reading the same as standard.

Others have used 215/65 - 16 which raises the gearing a few % and can help improve your MPG a little. BUT check your speed with sat nav to see whether or not it has caused your speedo to under read your true speed.
