They will fit as long as they have the 5x112 bolt pattern. I think a 225/40/17 tire should be good looking and functional, for daily use.

The rims will fit, but they might stick out the sides A LITTLE, but just a little. You will have to run 215/35 or 225/35 tires to prevent rubbing issues.

You are right, you can run a 225/40 tire. The 40 series tire will also give you more sidewall protection, great for rough roads and potholes.
