What model is an "esi"? Civic, Accord, Prelude, etc?

What is the stock tire size, when your car came from the factory?

Here are the best sizes for your car:

15x6 or 15x6.5 wheels with 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 tires
16x7 or 16x7.5 wheels with 205/45-16 or 215/45-16 tires
17x7.5 wheels with 205/40-17 tires

Personally, I think you're better off with 15" or 16" wheels, and not the 17". The short sidewalls on the 17" tires make the wheels much more susceptible to damage from potholes.
