    get the size that is closest to oem size in OD, then lower your car to get rid of gap.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    205/40/17 tires are the most popular for 17" wheels for a setup like yours + it's a more common size so it should be less expensive then the sizes posted above me.

    get 215/45's I had them on my civic. It filled up the wheel wells nicely. And it will give you ok wheel protection.
