Default Saph 4x4 tyre sizes for 17s

I've got a set of 17" tsw evo's on my Saph with 205/40 tyres which are old and worn and I want to replace them with a bigger size. Was originally planning on 215/40/17 but was wondering could I get away with 225/45/17s?
Cheers

I think the 225s might stick out a bit and catch the arches.

45 profile tyres on a saph look a bit odd IMO. I would defo stick to 40 profile.

I think I'm on 215/40/17. I hate the look of 205/40's. Also on Tsw evo's....B)
