Ok, 235/40/17 or 235/45/17 Opinions wanted. I think 235 looks better on stock wheels.

I have 235/45/17 with 8" width rims and they look nice
but they do rub a tiny bit on the plastic above the wheel, no biggie.
I have Ectas Supra, I believe if you go with Bridgestone or Michelin they won't rub.
Knowing this, next time I get tires it will be 235/40/17 as I love the Ectas.
Btw. some people believe 235 is too wide for a 7.5" wheel and you really want 8" or more.

I have 225/45 YR 17s on 17x8" wheels. Look very aggressive (ask Mike M, he's seen it in person)
I think the extra half inch, combined with the narrower tire, make the sidewall more straight, rather than bulged, and it looks really nice.
