Default 245's?

Anyone run 245's on 17" rims?

What aspect? 40 or 45?

My concern is how close the tire gets to the spindle/balljoint up front. It seems sorta close with the 235's. I'll probably need new rubber next year and like to get some ideas what I can fit in there.

The 245 45 17's too will correct the speedo error. mine is off a bit and from what I gather, all are, something Lexus did intentionally. It bugs me....

But I am also big fan of larger (wider) rubber.
