Are you really looking just for tires or do you mean wheels as well?
If you have the 18" x 8" wheels then 225-45-18 is stock and 245-40-18 is optional
Read through this section, search the tire sizes and check out www.tirerack.com

215/45 17 is a smaller overall diameter so your speedo would be wrong and you would accumulate more miles on the odometer than you actually drive the car. Not a good deal.

Also for wheels you need to get the correct offset and bolt pattern which I think is 35mm to 45mm
Hubcenter Bore should be = 67.1mm
Bolt Pattern is = 5x114.3

215 is how wide in mm?, 45 is the percent of the width in height, 17 is the rim size you're putting it on

You just asked the same question three times! You've been given the answer already. Did you even read through tirerack's site? Take the time to learn about tire sizing, then you can answer the question yourself.
