1) Buy another 225 45R17 GT Radial SX2 to replace this one. Keep running 3mm spacers for front strut clearance.
2) Patch the existing tire, keep running spacers up front (and 225 square)
3) Buy a pair of 215 45R 17 GT Radial SX2, run the 215s up front (hopefully without spacers) and 225s in the back.
