215/50/17 should fit... but i dont think the extra 5 will make a huge difference

your over thinking. Not only will your ride not improve, your speedo will be off and it will look ridiculous

instead the speedo being 1.5% too fast... he'll be 2% too slow.
Theres no perfect size 17 coming from stock 195/65/15.
215/50/17 is the recommend width for the V6 and shouldnt be a problem on his i4.
he can 225/45/17... but that is a wider size and may cause (more) rubbing.

What's your suspension set-up that would allow you to run that tall of a tire? I'm on Neuspeed sports with Koni's and I'll be lucky not to rub with 215/45's

im gonna be running 215/35/18
but 225/35/18 is the correct size diameter wise for fifhtgen accords
better fast than slow IMO
