I agree. I have the same wheels, and 225/255 is the best fit on this size.

I would stay away from the 235 on the front of the car. They are going to be taller than the OE tires and can throw off the anti lock brakes.
Like others have posted I like the 225/45R17 and 255/40R17.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
