did u try that tire size Calculator link i sent you? 205/60R15 is stock height. So put that in the 'stock tire' window, then mess around with the 'new tire' untill you find something you like. I would go with the 225/45 because the 215's is probably going to be to narrow for the wheel! Also, the 225/45 is really close to stock.
