RE: 17" wheels
I run 215's on my 17" wheels. The 205's are what is called for by the factory and I have heard the 225's will rub quite a bit, but there are several who run them. I have Yokohamas and I'm not real crazy about them to tell the truth.
I have 15" Kumhos on my white car and 15" Michelins on my wagon. The Michelins are the better riding and better in the snow for sure. Not sure they are worth the difference in price when buying them though. Somehow I got a really good deal on the Michelins and when I tried to get another set for the same price for the white car, they would not even come close. The Kumhos seem like a real good tire for the money though.

RE: 17" wheels
We put 16" Mimas, with 205/55/16 on my sons 850 and there is still some room, although I'm not sure exactly how much. Specs call for a 205/45/17 tire with 17" wheels. I put 225/45/17 on with a set of Canisto's on my S60. I still have alot of room, but I'm sure the suspension makes a difference. If your suspension is lowered then they would most likely rub. If not it could be close. Your not going with that much wider of a tire so I think I would tend to go safe and stick with the 205's.
