FYI, both sizes will work on a 17 X 7.5" wheel - see specifications as follows:
Tire Size / Overall Diameter
185/60-15 23.7" Your O.E. size
205/45-17 24.2"
215/40-17 23.8"

185 * 60 / 100 = 111.0 mm (4.4") stock tire sidewall
205 * 45 / 100 = 92.3 mm (3.6")
215 * 40 / 100 = 86.0 mm (3.4")
the 205/45r17 is 2.2% taller than stock, so it will throw your speedometer out by 2.2% (it will read slower than stock), make all your gears run 2.2% longer, and reduce your torque to the ground by 2.2%.
215/40r17 is 0.1% taller than stock, and perfectly fits a 7.5" wide rim. (I run this size up front on my MR2, so I know it fits the rim perfectly).
guess which one is a better choice
