I think 45s are the correct size for a 17" wheel.

The width of the tyre will depend on the witdth of the alloy.

use either 215 or 225, most peeps use the 225 as there is a better choice and usually cheaper :smiley:

Bare in mind that the 225 will be marginally taller in profile as well as wider than the 215.
