you can do 245/45/17, i think that's a good size. it's a bit wider but shouldn't be problem on the 17x8

for the tire, if you want a/s. how about the michelin a/s? all season performance, and tread wear like 400. i have never had them before, but they are pretty good tires for the reviews i have read.

I have the 245/45/17 michelin pilot sport a/s on mine for winter setup. However, If I had to do it over,
I would go with 235/45/17 in the michelin pilot sport a/s. The reason is that the pilot sport all season tires are larger than your typical 245/45/17 tire size. A typical 245/45/17 is 25.7 while the michelin is 25.9 The mich 235/45/17 is 25.6. While .2 dosen't sound like much, I get a front wheel well rub when turning the wheel all the way to the left. Note: I do not have that problem when I run my 245/40/18 's in front with 275/35 in back
