From testing I've seen, summer tires are generally better than all seasons in the wet. There was a summer, winter, all season tire comparison posted recently. Anyway the summer tires smoked the all seasons in the wet testing providing the temps stayed above 45-50 degrees. That was one of the surprise results of the test.
Some have mentioned that the hankook ventus tires that you have are summer max performance tires. They're not to be driven in temps approaching or below freezing. Definitely not snow. They will be great in a warm So Cal rainstorm though.

Check out this cool link for quick tire size calculations.
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
245/45 is exactly 1/2" larger diameter compared to stock size. 255/40 is .3 of an inch smaller diameter than stock.
I'm lowered on 17x9" wheels with 255/40/17 falken rt615's and they don't rub.
