    I'd go with 215/45

    The extra sidewall will allow for a smoother ride than a 40 series tire

    im rolling with the same tire size...and the same rims!...just make sure your car isnt too low because im running 215 45 17's and when i have people in the back or i hit hardcore bumps my rear scraps/hits the inner little fender thingy that about an inch long in the rear...

    option 1: negative camber in the rear (which isnt bad at all unless its hardcore negative camber...from what ive heard a little is good)

    option 2: which i did...i went to a body shop and they trimmed that inch piece under the rear wheel well..and i have 0 camber in my rear i dont like uneven treadwear...so thats what i did...

    the 215/45-17s will keep you the closest to the stock tire diameter, so you're speedometer will read only about 1.7 percent too slow.
