help i need tires 245/45/17 or 255/40

ok my stock tires are dead and i need new tires. i'm looking at geting the axenis rt615's The car is going to be on stock ride height and stock 17x8 rims. should i get 245/45/17(bigger diameter than stock) or 255/40 17's(small diameter than stock). can i see some pics of ppls cars. will the 245 look strange will the car look raised and look like it has some huge ballon tires? will the 255 look ok. will the car look lowered?

what other kind of tires can i choose from with this kinf of performance at the same cost.

I have the 245's and I think they're fine. just keep in mind that your speedo will be off by about 8%.

Does anybody else have some input that they could give on this? I'm in the same boat right now and I'm still having trouble deciding.

either one works. i know for sure 255 40 17 is the same size as far as overal diameter.
that's a good choice on the tire for price and peformance. another good option is bfg kdw.
