I've got 4x100 17x7 +40 with 205/40/17's I'm dropped about 2" so it fits nice with that size tire.

215/45/17 for maximum comfort. But if you plan to drop it go 205/45/17 or 205/40/17. I've got 215/45/17's on mine with a 1.8" drop and I rub just on the outer edge in the rear. It would be fine if I had 205's.

almost about another inch in total height (= better ride) here is a neat tool, play around with it and really study all the measurements. You can compare and contrast all the differences you need with it.

You can see what your speedo differences are and everything.
