An arched door can never fit within an arched tunnel as it would not be possible
to open the door anymore.

In the case of

the door is supposed to be placed in front of the wall,
so any arch that is slightly smaller than the door would 'fit'. Meaning:
it will form a arched opening that is hidden behind the edge of the door.

So any of

As Nubs_Select and hpoort mentioned, any variation of a Arch 1 x 6 x 2 will work.
However, make sure that you do not use a 1X6X1 arch. The curve
is slightly different, so if you use a 1X6X1 arch, there will be slight gaps
left along the top of the door.
