good tire size for 17x7.5 wheel?

Forced myself into getting new shoes for 1517, and the 225/50's are too tall. Recommendations? I'd spend a little time searching but work is upon me. Thanks guys. I eventually plan on lowering it some (1-1.5") also, if that makes a difference.

215/40's (12mm smaller diameter than stock) or 215/45's (10mm greater diamter than stock) though a 205/45 is closest to stock dia.


A 225/45 (20mm greater dia than stock) or 235/45 (over 30mm greater dia than stock) are too big imo.
 

Well I had initially planned to go down to Discount Tire and run through some options to get something closer to a 205/55/16, because those were a really nice fit when I had them. However, I couldn't pass on set of barely used 235/45/17's that I found. Goodyear Eagles for only $275, all four as a set, mounted and balanced. Had them installed today. They stand about 3/4" shorter (actual, not "by the numbers") than the 225/50/17's that came off, and they look awesome. The tread pattern looks nice and aggressive too!
