For 17" wheels (given that the width of the rear wheels is wider than the front), you can use either 215/45-17 F and 245/40-17 R or 225/45-17 F and 255/40-17 R.

THE DIFFERENCE IN OVERALL DIAMATER OF THE 245/40/17 AND THE 255/40/17 IS 24.7 IN. AND 25.02 IN. THE STOCK DIAMATER FOR THE 03 205/55/16 AND THE 225/50/16 ARE BOTH 24.86. FOOLING AROUND WITH THE OVRALL DIAMATER WILL AFFECT YOUR SPEEDOMETER
