Sorry but anything other than 215's look wank on Esc Cos rims on an RST imo.
I've had Esc Cos rims on 5 out of 6 of my S1's & I've had 215's on al of them without any probs at all.

well i've got 195/40/16's on mine they did ok 130+ @ brunters 
But that was in a straight line
anyhoo i'd get the 215/40/16's of you are tracking it as there is minimal stretch on the tyre wall and they don't look too
