255 on 17x9 is perfect imo.

Keep weight in mind as to not potentially ruin the feel of the car. It's always a tradeoff between weight and grip. I tend to lean more towards the extra grip & take the weight penalty.

If weight is truly important get a stickier tire in 215 and mount it on a 7" wide wheel.

Check the specs on the tire/wheel you want to run. Report back with weight.
Well the combo of 17x9 RPF1s and say 245 or 255 Hankook Ventus RS3 or Dunlop Star Spec equal about the same wheel/tire weight as stock, but with an additional 2 inches of rim width .
