New Gram Lights 57Maximum wheels 17x9 - tire poll

Wondering what people thought of these two different tire sizes on these 17x9 Gram Lights 57maximum wheels. I'm leaning towards sticking with the 245/45-17 series as they look hardcore.

245/45-17 Tires below:





235/45-17 Tires below:

Do you think 255/40-17s would fit without any issues? The 245/45-17s have a slight rub on large bumps. Anyone have pics of 255/40-17 on a +22 offset wheel?

255/40/17 will not rub.... reason you're rubbing with those 245/45/17 is because that tire is taller then 235/45/17... 255/40/17 are a bit shorter but much wider

i run 255/40/17 on my stockers and they feel great
