Is this a good tire size for our 5th Gens? I'm planning to have tires this size mounted onto 17 inch Racing Hart M7000s.

Yup its fine, its 8mm shorter than stock which is ok. Your other alternative is 215/45 which is also ok. I think thats somewhere around bit more than a cm taller than stock.

i'm basically looking for some low profile tires that will make my rims look better on my car..i'm ordering these rims...and i don't know how big/small they're going to look in 17 inch...so i'm figuring.....if they do look kinda small, getting some tires that are thinner (from the outside edge of the wheel to the outside edge of the tire) should help to compensate...i'm just hoping this doesn't sacrifice performance or tread life.
