Tire Size

I'm thinking of getting some 17's this summer. I have the puny 14" phone dial wheels right now. What tire size should I be running? I was thinking 215/45R17. I don't want any rubbing, and I might be lowering the car soon too.

16" -> 205/55/16 (stock Turbo II size), +0 size is 225/50/16
17" -> 225/45/17
18" -> I don't recommend due to too thin a sidewall.

Anything else would throw your speedo off or will not fit the fronts.
