50 series is too thick for a 17", go with 205/45/17(if your wheel width is smaller, around 17x7") or 215/45/17(for a 17.7.5" wheel).


EDIT: btw go with kumho tires if you want cheap and well performing tires, except for snow

LOL you can fit a 19" in it and still rollin' haha
I dont think you will have problem with 99% of 17inch.
just watch out for offset.
Kumho-except for snow and wet situation
I have Kumho 711..dirt cheap long tire good grip

245/35/17.....but you really should have some power under the hood for anything over 13's!
