The car has been lowered (25 inch height w/ 215 55 16 snows). The 245's are obviously wider but about .6 inches shorter.

S03's are very wide tires the 225/40 18 s03's are wider than my 235/40 17 avs sports.

Check tirerack's web site for the tire specs. So my answer would be the 235/45 17.

235/45-17 S03's will rub on your front fender liners.

If you go with those, be prepared to do some fender liner trimming.
