96-01 RL has an OEM tire size of 215/60/16, and 02-04 RL has 225/55/16. To keep the overall diameter the same to OEM, You have to choose the 17 inch tire size of 215/55/17 or 235/50/17. Your current tire size is too too small and the 225/45/17 is not the right size. Remember, the overall diameter of the tire size is very important and must be within 1% difference that I highly recommend.
