new wheels aren't in my expense. I can only get new tires and their gonna cost about 900 bucks for 4 plus installation and alignment.

But im being hold back by the size. I talked to a tirerack sales guy and he said, "sure you can increase to 225/55/17 or even to 235/55/17 without a problem". Then i talked to my dealership service tech and he said those sizes would cause problems with the car, he said, " generally, if you increase by 10 u must also subtract by 10, he suggests i got 225/45/17."

Its all very confusing on what possible size i can get from the original tire size of 215/55/17.
