Works both, however will poke about 2-3mm (front) / 10mm (rear) on stock suspension, does not look that good unless lowered in my opinion. I would go for +35 front and rear.
Looks way better when lowered 1", is about flush then (rear +20 may poke a bit depending on camber).

235/45/17 is +2.9% off in diameter from factory setup
245/45/17 is +4.3% off in diameter from factory setup
235/40/17 is -0.9% off in diameter from factory setup
245/40/17 is +0.4% off in diameter from factory setup
Your goal is to be as close to the factroy diameter. However the 7" wide stock wheels are not ideal to host 235 or even 245 wide tires... If you have to choose one of them, I'd rather take 235/40/17
My suggestion however would be 225/45/17 (+1.4%) on the stock 7" wheels. If you want 245 tires, I would at least go for a 8" wide wheel

And was wondering which tires would be best suited to get a properly fitted look (not into the stretch look) and not rub on OEM height. 245/40/18 or 245/35/18. Thanks in advance for your help!

245/35/18 every time! Almost same diameter as stock wheels, so speedo and hight will remain like with the factory wheels.
