215/45R17 is about the biggest tire that will fit without affecting performance. Anything bigger you'll loose a fair bit of power to the wheels.

Rep Power: 0 Yep, 215/45/17, that's what I got my Toxxins wrapped in too. That size is actually the official Honda recommended size for 17" rims and the closest to the stock 15"s which is a good thing because your speedometer will not be thrown off.
Here is a closeup of the rubber/rims on my car...

Rep Power: 319 I calculated the 215/45R17 to be within .6% of the stock EX wheel/tire combo. That's why I went 45 series instead of 40, but I might switch to 40 series after I lower.
