Stick with the factory 215 width unless you want a more expensive, heavier, and less responsive steering but the same grip tire in a 225... if it were an 8" wide rim it would be a different matter and the 225 width would probably be more preferable with it's 8.2" tread width. Also, the 225/45-17 size will have your speedometer off on the high side, meaning you will actually be going faster than what the speedometer shows (by a few MPH at Hwy speed) and your acceleration will be a little bit slower...
Personally I would go with a different size MPSS though for even better performance improvements over the stock tire size... 205/45-17.
