215/45/17x7.5 or 225/45/17x7.5

Does anyone have either of these sizes with a 42mm offset and if so which one fits better and how much clearance do you have all around. I am going f/i later so i would like the 225/45/17x7.5 for more grip on the pavement.

im running 225/45/17s on stock tires and im lowered on megan coilovers... go 225... the best thing u can do for your car is upgrade tires. power, brakes and handling are nothing without the median that transfers it to the ground.
