If you have 17" rims, shouldn't it be 215/50/17 fronts and 245/45/17 rears to be near the stock diameter?

For every inch of wheel diameter, it is about 5mm or tire height?

According to this site, you are off by -1.84% from stock diameter for the rears.

That would add to our already 2% error. So you are adding 4% unnecessary mileage onto your odo.
