If you want to put on easy to find tyres, then 195/40/16 will do.
If you want more stretch then you'll have to search high and low for 165/45/16's. Your best off looking on Edition 38 and Wheel Whores for those kinds of tyres

All round. For 6" wide fronts your never going to get a stretched tyre tbh, unless you run ultra skinny styre, but that, imo, is daft.
If you want stretched tyres, stick to having the rears stretched, it emphasizes the width of the rear wheels!

Won't be any stretch on the fronts though, 6j is pretty narrow!!

not wanting to get into an arguement but how do you see them as unpractical becuase the wheel is the same width whatever the size of the tyre and if your thast close to the curb then you guna curb your wheel regardless if you have a streched tyre or not
