It took me a while to figure this out when I first got my car, I didn't know about AW back then...
225 = the size of the tire in MM. Basically if you take a tire and stand it like a tire that's mounted on a car, put your palms on each side of it, and that's 225 MM in width.
45 = the MM's from the edge of the rim to the edge of the tire. That's usually a number in the 30's-40's for a low profile tire...then there ultra low profile which are ridiculously smaller and unncessary
not sure w/the R means, probably the tire rating. and the 17 means the rim size that will fit on the tire. That means you've got 17" rims, the stock rims.
Hope this helps, and i hope i'm right hehe
