Default Tire recommendation

Sorry .. it was supposed to say tire recommendation and size Q.

Here is the recommendation part:

This is for a 2001 V70 front wheel drive.
Wheels are 16".
This car runs on dedicated winter wheels w/ Blizzaks on them in the winter, so these tires would only see spring/summer/fall.
Frankly ... no real requirements here other than I don't want to pay ridiculous money and I don't want my car to sound like an Abrahms tank after 5K miles.
Any recommendations?

Now for the question part:

How do I know if the vehicle came with 205/55/16 or 215/55/16? My dad bought it used, I bought it from my dad and when I took the car over it was a mess, it had 4 215/55/16's on it, but a 205/55/16 spare - how the hell do I figure out what the car came with since there is a chance it could have come with either size?

Look inside the fuel filler door.
