tire help

i am in the process of buying new tires, i am getting a good deal on some azenis but the options are only 235/40/17, 245/45/17, and 255/40/17. which ones will fit with no rubbing and will be the best off for me. i have done my share of research but i have heard good on all sizes i just want to know what people think the best for "me" would be. thanks.

I'd go with oem size or 245/40-17. The 245/40's are a very common plus zero size that fits perfectly fine. The 255's are a bit tight on an 8" wheel and the 245/45 is a little tall (although I've seen it used before).

my car is lowered also so i do not want any rubbing issues, i hear hundreds of people using the 255/40 but nothing said about rubbing

Sorry for the OT, but why Azenis? They're an old tire, you'd be better off with a different brand IMO.

Its tough to say what the best fit "for you" is... how do you use the car?
