Depends on if your fenders are rolled or not. If not, 215/245. If they are, then 225/45 or 235/40 for up front and 255/40 for rear.

If you don't have plans to roll them, then yes. You may need to add some negative camber all the way around depending on where your sitting now as well. -1.5 up front and -2 in back should be sufficient.

If you are lowered at all, now or possibly in the future, then you are going to rub regardless of tire size. I'd go 225/45, 255/40 and roll your fenders.

Without a fender lip roll I would go 215/45R17 and 245/40R17. Even then you may need some negative camber. If I can help with the tires let me know.

^This. Those wheel specs require a roll even with the smaller tire. Roll the fenders.

These wheel/tire specs we seem to have a different opinion on. And there is one or two variables that could allow them to possibly rub, but its totally possible to set the car up so it doesn't. If for what ever reason someone doesn't want to dig into the fenders and risk a poor roll job or cracked paint etc, I wouldn't turn someone away from this package option.
