I was going to suggest going the wider/taller tire route, I bumped up to a 245/45R18, the speedo is still accurate and I don’t think it looks bad at all. I’ll try to take a picture tomorrow if I remember

you're going to have to do some research, the stock 17"s and 18's are within less than 1 percent difference in diameter. Speedo difference is insignificant. I have a 2014 UL with stock 18's and the speedo reads 2 KM/hr slower than actual.
