yeah with that width and offset, your tire options are limited to thin sidewalls and tread width. 215s are prolly about right lol.

It really doesn't matter.

If you really want to turn some heads, you should go for 205/40's on there. Rubber bands and sparks FTW!

they'll stretch a little and depending on how much they are pulled, they may or may not rub.

Don't run a 215 on a 9.5 wheel. It really is unsafe. Even the 225/45R17 will be stretched on the 9.5 wheel and you are still going to need to do some fender modification to make them work.
