Use 225/45 tires. I like 5-spokes, they will probly look nice.

17"x7" wheels, you could go a few sizes with the tires you've mentioned.
225/45-17, 235/40-17, or 235/45-17 are available via Tirerack. I'd probably go with the 235/45's for your area.

based on my calculations using the tire profile as 50%, I get the most profile out of a 215/50.....

Yeah, if cushioning is what you crave, then that size works. But IMHO, the sidewall will be big and the width will be small, which will look funny and handle worse than a 45 profile w/ a wider width.
