225/45/17 will fit nicely, although I believe nutron fitted 235's - just!
See a previous post of mine showing 215/50/17's (NCT5) on the rear, and 225/45/17's (Rainsports) on the front

As Big Sig says, there's hardly any difference.
not bein a tyre expert ,i want to ask a question and im will probably sound stupid.
i got 215/50/17 ok
now some ppl have said that you can fit 224/45/17 with HARDLY any difference .
hardly is the key word in the fact that there IS a difference then ,
so can i ask what is the difference .
i thought that 45s are 5mm smaller than 50s on the side wall
yes no?????
help and advise wud be gr8
No, if you read the above posts and try the calc that has been put up you would see its a ratio of the width. Overall its 13mm difference in diameter (you really cannot see it), and yes before you ask, the 225's are an alternative size for the vec/siggy as in the hand book.
