    225 front and 245 rear would be nice.

    My pics, older ones, are 215 and 245. Now 215 and 255. All on 15" rim.

    I have 225/45/17 in the front & 295/35/18 in the rear. Pics are in my gallery. My car is lowered at least 2 inches if not a little more. 225/50/17 should be fine but it's for a 17x7. I have 17x8 and the 225/45 is the same width as my rim.

    I have 235/55 R17 on all four. I expected them to be a little tall, but they fill the wheel wells just right in my opinion. In the front they do rub a little at full lock turn in reverse, but no big deal. I would not go any bigger than that on the front.
