I you put a biger tire like you are talking about it will through your spedomiter off. The only way to totaly get rid of the wheel gap is to lower the car even more.

besides mileage what else matters about the speedometer being off....it would be off by 4.3%

Well the 215/45 oe 225/45 is what most people with DSM's run on a 17" wheel.
