215/50/17 vs 225/50/17 vs 235/45/17 tire recommendation

ok, i know this is wrong forum but i need as much feedback as humanly possible because i have little time to make a decision. I have 2k1 rim (17 X 7) and i am in need of tires, well 1 or 2 but might as well buy all 4. Anyway, need opinion on what is best for tires on 2k1 rims or another 17X7 or 17X 7.5 rim. Professionals and most close friends say 215/50/17 is best way to go. Others say 235/45/17. I want to have 50 rather than 45 cause i've had badluck BENDING OEM RIMS! (WTF!!!). But dont know whats best cause i dont know much about tires. Looking for feedback through what u guys feel is best and what u guys have now that is working for you. All sites and professionals point towards 215/50/17 but after getting BSed about nissan ages back, i learn not to trust just one source.

BTW, i would like to take price away from this factor although it does play a major role but lets say it doesnt, give me your inputs. I need a tire good for high speed, cornering and bumps. Saying they are all same brand, what size is best for all?
