225/45 is max size for the stock wheels IMO. A 245/40 will be pinched on a 17x7". I ran 245/40 MPSS on a 7.5" wheels; they were pinched a bit. Not ideal at all.
Spacers do not negativly change the ride for DD. Getting 225/45s and spacers would most likely make you happy.
Cant say Ive tried firestones, specifically those ones anyway. But I can say that I jut got Hankook evo v12 tires to replace the expensive Michelins I was running. Terrible choice. I had burnt through 20 MPSS tires and thought that "Maybe I should try something else and save a few bucks" Bad idea. The Michelins are way better, and totally worth the money. I will be swapping back soon, though I am probably going to try a newer model Michelin.
Finally... my point: Firestones are inexpensive; the savings may not be worth it.
