I believe you can go up too 215 on a 17" rim, without rubbing against the wheel well. (Don't quote me though)...

I've had 17x7 and a 42 offset konig impacts for 4 years now. originally I had 215 nittos, but I went back to 205s

You shouldn't have any probs with 15's, but if you want to use low profile tyres you should really use bigger wheels
