i would suggest for you either 205/40 or 205/45 or 215/40.
those tires have less rubber than say a 285/40 that is a huge tire you dont need anything like that or even close to it.
i'm running falken ziex 512 tires 215/45/17 on my enkei cdr9 wheels, i need the extra rubber cuz the roads around here are terrible.
ohh yeah and nice choice of wheels i thought about getting those too but i ended up goin with the cdr9's.

lets say its 215/40/zr17
the 215 is the width the 40 is the sidewall height (percentage of width i think) the zr would be a speed rating like z, zr, v... and the 17 is the rim size
