From my experience - 235/45/17 the size that Lexus reccomends for 2gs are too sporty and provided a little rough ride. So i put on 225/50(3gs Lexus size for 17s) and they felt much better, reminded me of my old stock 16s. I think the other sizes that you've mentioned have even less of sidewall than 235/45 so....up to you.
