What kind of wheels do you have? And I don't know to many people with a 17x7 or atleast not on here.

The 225s would be 26" which is the tire height most people. The 215s would be 25.5"

You can also use a 205/55/17 (25.88") on a 17 x 7" w/o problem.

IMO, if your trying to cut weight then go with the 205/55/17, but the 215/50/17 will give you the best tire selection and cost no more then the 205.

Ok Op. I got what your saying now, LOL. My fault. When I wrote the last post my mind wasn't thinking. I was thinking you had some type street wheel, not a DW.

I am thinking the 215/50/17. I will be running a 315/35/17 on the rear and don't want the front tire to be taller than the rear.
