The 235/45-17 rears are like 3/4" taller than stock tires. That will KILL your 60 foot times if you don't have gobs of bottom end. If possible I always try to go for a slightly shorter tire than stock. 235/40 would be ideal, but since they're not available in the RE71, I went to 225/45 which is .3" taller
. These are not drag cars, make up for the 60 foot times by nailing .520's or better on the tree.
