I think I was maybe making a mistake in what I said. Just by crunching the numbers, here's what you get.

195/65/15: 25"
205/45/17: 24.26"
215/40/17: 23.77"
215/45/17: 24.62"

So from that, 215/45/17 would be closest to stock size and is what you should go with. There's a catch, though, because the measuring wheel width makes a different in total diameter as mentioned before. For 18" 225/40/18 is closest to stock right around 25". That's pretty low profile and will be stiff. But if you're getting 18" you need to start looking into offset....have you done that yet?
