Default I need help choosing the right tire size (and rim question)

I have a satin silver 2002 Accord V6 sedan. My car is lowered with H&R Sport springs (1.5 at front and 1.25 at the back). My stock tires are 205/65/15.

I'm planning on picking up some Yokohoma tires that are 215/45/17.

Will I have the horrible gap that some people get after putting on new rims even with my drop?

Also, the rims I like are white 5zigen imperio m-05s. Think it clashes too much with my silver car?

thanks

check out that site, punch in your numbers and you will see how much of a difference there will be with the old vs the new tires/rims
