How about 215/45R17 tires? Will those fit in a '96 EX Sedan?

Re: what is the best tire size

For a 97' Civic, the best tire, or which is closest to stock overall diameter is a 205/40/17.
The tire size 215/45/17 is too big, I don't know if it'll rub, but there is a risk of brake failure and your speedometer will be off. anyways, hope this helps.
