205 is the width of the tires.

45 is the thickness of the tires.

ZR is the tires speed rate or something like that. (someone correct me)

17 is the size of the rim the tires will fit.

88W/93W, i have no clue.

you need to find out what the offset is. maybe tirerack.com can help you.

width is in milimeters. (205 mm)
height, tallness is a percent of the width (45% of 205)
17 is in inches (duh)

here's another site to explain http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...e.jsp
