my mods so far:

catless EL header
E85 tune
4.55 final drive
330mm BBK
-3 camber front, -1.5 camber rear
0 toe all round


im thinking of stepping up to a 245/40/17 RS3 on a 17x9 wheel (maybe 255/40/17 but it may be overkill)

knowing that 225/45/17 on 17x8 is proven to be quicker on fast tracks with long straights, could i benefit from using wider tires for a track like i described above?

Probably. You could probably use more camber too, and a smaller BBK
