I love my 17x9s and 245/40 Toyo T1 Sports. Best mod I've made to the car so far.

I thought about trying 245's in these tires but at that point I am way over tire-ing (made up word lol) my car and I would need 10k+ spring rates to deal with that much grip. At that point I wouldn't enjoy the ride quality
