I run 225/45R17 on my IS300 which also has a 7in rim and it’s just fine. As for which place to put the new tires, although not as fun I’d put the ones with the most grip on the rear. The car is already tail happy, no need to make it even more tail happy. I had a set of Dunlop Z2 all the way around my IS300 once and then need to replace two so I ended up with two Z2 Star Spec on the front. I didn’t expect the Z2SS to have that much more grip than the Z2. The car was really tail happy but I left it as is and just drove appropriately. Not sure I would recommend this to a stranger though.

As for the VSC. Although intrusive it does a damn good job. I leave it on in the rain and it’s saved me a few times when these crap tires let go even when driving like my grandmother.
