225/50/17(25.9"), is OEM size for 17" and what i'd recommend.
225/55/17(26.7") will fit however heightening the gearing makes acceleration slower. large sidewalls will provide more comfort and impact protection but sloppier turn-in.
225/45/17(25.0") is too small and causes speedo/odometer error and increases fenderwell gap. it's shorter gearing will accelerate slightly quicker, though.
