225/45/17 is fine but tall.
215/45/17 is the best compromise for all middle earth.

215/45 17 is the best compromise on performance and comfort. the car will feel as it should and handle with a sharp attitude but not be crashy.

225 = a bit too big
40 = too thin.
6th gen Prelude please Mr Honda. RWD 2.4 turbo lude.
