225/45/17 is what I have. Or maybe it's 215/45/17....anyway it should be fine.

i would go with the wider tire, i went with the 235 on my konig villians and i love it, i swear i can feel better handling, plus the wider the tire the faster people THINK my car is.

With 17X8, I'd go w/ 235/45/17. That's what I have one mine.

235/45/17 is the best size, diameter-wise, fitment-wise, and looks-wise.
