don't forget that rim width will have have an effect on the overall tire diameter. I have 215-40/17 on a 7.5 wide wheel. according to the police radar trailer that was on my street, the speedo was close enuff.
Rememeber, speedometers are only an approximation. Tire pressure and tread wear are also factors. The only true reading is by getting calibrated at a speedo shop.
IIRC, the speedo in my Crown Victoria was 2 mph faster than actual.

Wheel width, sizes, and offsets will all play a prat in the correct tire sizing on your car.
If you're gonna' run a 16x8" wheel, you'll want to stretcha little, and you'll be able to run a larger tire.
But for a 17x7 or something, 205's or 215's is plenty.
I ran a 17x10 (-20et-) on my Mk4 Jetta, with a 235/40-17.
The factory wheel sizes are 15x6.5 with a 35et and like a 195/65-15.
Just size it up, and be smart. You'll be just fine.
