I'd say a 225/40/17 would work just fine.

You might get a little better ride out of the 225/45, since it'll have a little bit taller sidewall (about 5mm more than stock tires). Hard to say if it would be noticeable though. Performance, not really sure there would be much of a difference between the 40/45 sizes, since it's still 225 wide. I'm sure some others will chime in here though...

You have good info right there already. 225s are about as wide as you want to go on that rim width. Stay with a 40 or 45 series tire.
