Nice tread on that Michelin Goonzy. For size definitely 215/45/17 and nothing smaller than that. You may go 225/45/17 as Mark did in the picture I previously posted of his car, but here is more elaborative ones of the bigger footprint and sidewall:

Dude, those tires are LUDICROUSLY expesnive. If these are gonna be summer-only wheels then get a good (and cheaper) summer only tire! I would recommend the Falken Ziex 212's or the Dunlop Super Sport Races that Mark (Y2KSVT) has on the same wheels. They are a decent price and stick the the road like baby-sh!t does to a blanket!

A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

unfortunately the dunlop super sport race tires that mark has have been discontinuned. No clue why?! They just came out not to long ago! I was wanting to get a set but i realized the tirerack doesnt even stock that tire in a 17" size anymore.
However, you might try here:

They list them, but i would call before you place an order to make sure they actually stock them.
