Tire Size for our OEM wheels?

What are tire sizes that are within spec with our (5th gen) wheels? I was thinking of upgrading my Craptenza with Bridgestone S-03 and I want to get as close as the stock tires. Stock tires is 225/50/17. Tire Sizes for S-03s are:

225/55R17
225/45R17
235/45R17
245/45R17

and there are 40 series tires which are not listed because they are out of spec.

tirerack lists them all. just look for one that fits a 7" rim and similar load rating.

The first two will fit on a 7" wheel. The 235/45R17 min recommended size is 7.5". There are a few guys running them but i would not recommended it. 245/45R17 no!
