What size wire would you run from 200 amp meter box underground 160 ft to a 200 amp breaker box?
This is a voltage drop question and without a voltage the question can not be answered. As service voltages increase the wire size is allowed to be reduced. Assuming that the 200 amp service is for a home, the voltage of 240 volts will be used in the calculation.
A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 160 feet on a 240 volt system.
The code should be consulted on this installation as the utility company might not allow wires with no over current protection to come from the bottom of their meter to an underground service. There is a meter base in the market place that has an over current device mounted directly below the meter socket. This breaker will fulfill the requirement if the utility company says no to your original installation idea.

When installing a circuit breaker do you size the breaker to correct wire size or the device its controlling?
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.

What is the standard to select circuit breaker?
Add up your amps to calculate your breaker size. Add up your loads (amps), divide by 0.8, and choose that size breaker. If that number does not correspond to a standard size breaker you go to the next higher standard size breaker.
