Try to fit the biggest tire you can. There is a small, but significant improvement in RR - all other things being equal.
As a general rule, there is room to go up 2 sizes - in your case, that would be from 205/55R16 to 205/65R16 or 215/60R16, but you will need to check for clearance - and this might require some outside help as the worst case is when the suspension is completely collapsed and the steering wheel completely turned.
