205/40/17 or 215/45/17

215/45/17's have a little more sidewall while a little higher or a profile
205/40/17's have a lower profile and less sidewall

I would say any drop from 1.5 inches and less, the best bet would be 215/45's, it would fill up the space a little more.

1.5 inches or more, a lower profile such as 205/40's would be better.
Also, 205/40/17's are closer to stock overall diameter I am pretty sure. So the speedometer readings would be more accurate to how fast you are really going. While 215/45s may be like 1.5 or 2% off or something, no big deal really.
