Fitting wider wheels on the back than on the front will only help to increase understeer especially on a FWD car like the FTO. Just go 215/45 17 on all wheels.

Be Careful running 215/45/17's I'm running these on lowering Apex Springs and having all sorts of problems. I'm changing all four tyres for 215/40/17's to resolve. i.e Wheel arch liner's rubbing... failing NCT since last July....Be careful
