Please enter your vehicle at tirerack.com
Note that there are also tire load ratings that need to be considered, all the more for the heavier V6 and the wagon. see the link
You will not find Nokian reviewed there, but many good reviews there. You need to trade off cost, performance, quietness, tread wear. Never an easy task. With 16" rims, ride will always be smoother than 17". I do not think that anyone here will be too excited with fitting the tire size that you suggest. See if you can get a good value with the proper tire size.
If you select a good tire, you might find that a local tire dealer can match the value when shipping costs are in the comparison.
And an undersized tire will introduce speedo error and increase fuel consumption. Load ratings go down too.
