i say go with 215/40/17 for 17x7 , if u go 225 they stick oout too much and look weird. if u want to be safe from pot holes and jacked up roads go with 45 series.

Firstly, very few tires come in 225/40-17 (who knows why?)

And if I had 17" wheels, I think I'd get 215/40-17 (or 235/40-17 if I wanted wide tires and had the wide wheels to fit them :D)

As for the 215s rubbing, if you wheels have a reasonable offset, I don't think it's a worry.

I am pretty sure you can go 215/45ZR17

If you want to be safe fo with 215/40, check our offerings at www.edgeracing.com :D
