It depends on the rim width you have fitted. Most popular is 5 1/2's and if so you are a bit narrow with the tyres.
You should get away with the following:165, 175/70, 185/70, 185/60, depending whether your car is lowered or not. It all comes down to measuring carefully, but the attached link should help you fully understand what it's all about, but remember you really want to keep the same rolling circumference if you can, depending what you want:
