dont do 205/45/17. stick to 215/45/17. its the closest to overall stock diameter. 95% should agree.

I'll Fourth that.

I got a set of 215/45/ZR17 tires and they are just 0.04mm SMALLER
than the stock FireRocks that came on the Contour...

You can't get any closer than this size !!!
205 will be a narrower tire, and the 45 will make the
sidewall/tire diameter smaller.
