That size is near perfect or if you want an even better (perfect) size then 205/45/17 but there is less of a choice of tyres in that size.
Just dont go 215/45/17 as they are totally incorrect!

I ran Toyo 215/40/17 on my old Scoob. The 215/45/17 fill out the arches a little more, but are technically not the correct size - may put the speedo out a little. But they're not blow up, cause an accidnet or murder your dog totally incorrect, so go for either size IMHO
