I was reading Rishie's fitment guide. The numbers for the p5 are
Mazda Protege5 fitment guide

215/40/17; 215/35/18
-------------
7.0" +45 and higher
7.5" +48 and higher

205/40/17
-------------
7.0" +42 and higher; Barely making it
7.5" +48 or higher, the +45 still worries me with this width on a 205.


But what does it mean?

Thanks
 
215/40/17 is the tire size.

215mm width
40% sidewall height (215 * 40% = 86mm sidewall)
17 inch overall diameter.

7.0" + 45 and higher
Rim width & offset.

You would need a 7" rim with an offset of +45mm or higher.
