205/50R17 is the stock SS/NA and sport tire size.

225/45R17 is what most people with 17" rims upgrade to for a larger contact patch.

Oh, I was talking about the SS/SC or SS/TC sorry dude. You would still be fine with a 215/50 though, it would probably look nicer and fill out your wheel wells more.
