205/45/17 tire size

It's time for me to get new tires, and i want to upgrade from my stock continental touring with 16's to Yokohama Parada Spec-2's with 17's. I saw that the size they come in on tire rack is 205/45/17, and i was wondering how well that would look/perform on my 5th gen max. Thanks for your input.

245/40 17 IF THE WHEELS ARE 8.5 INCHES WIDE
225/50 IF THE RIMS ARE 7-7.5 INCH I THINK

With 205/45/17, your wheels would be easily messed up whenever you hit any potholes cause that size does not have enough weight rating to support the weight of Maxima. That is the size for Civic, Corolla, etc.
