Those 215/45 R17 will fit, but they will be a little taller than your current tires (your odometer will very slightly underestimate your actual speed).

Which are a different tire (SPT) or stick with the MX. This is a daily driver, in the desert (Phoenix), with sporty driving the norm...rare track days though.
