Re: smallest tires
Most tire manufacturers will not recommend anything narrower than a 225 on a 16x8" wheel. A 225/55-16 would be a good match to the stock tire diameter.
While most manufacturers will recommend nothing wider than a 7.5" wheel for a 205, you may have a hard time finding a high quality tire that has a diameter close to stock. A 205/55-16 would only be about 0.7" smaller than stock. A 205/60-16 (generally only available in "all season" tires) would match stock.
None of these solutions would match the weight savings of a true "front runner" type skinny on a 15x3.5" wheel.
