Need help on tire fitment, Please!

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a set of Rota Grid V 17x9 and an Eibach Sportline Kit (1.4" drop). My dilemma is trying to choose which height to go with on the tire 245/40-r17 or 245/45-r17. I used FRSbuilder.com to show how much gap i would have with either of these set ups. I show that the 245/40 will leave me with a 11mm gap and the 245/45 will leave me with a 5mm gap. I'm not worried about the rear but I am not sure if the front will rub on turning.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

-Brandon

245/40 is the correct size. Look at the weight difference between the two. You may need camber adjustment depending on wheel offset.
