What size tires will fill the GAP?

Hey whats up? I have a 95 Maxima GLE, and presently I have the following: 215/45/17. Now I lowered my car 2" in the back and the front, but I still have about a 1.5" gap on the upper part.

I wanted move up to 225-235/?/17, but I have no clue what size profile tires I need to fill that 1.5" gap. So my question is, what would be the ideal size tire to fill the gap 1.5".

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm planning on putting 225/50/17 on my 5th gen to fill up the gap a little. I have a stock suspension though.
Here's a pic of my max(Silver) - 225/50/17 - pirelli p6000 with another 5th gen with 235/50/17 - Michelin pilot sport a/s
