Default 245/45 is probably too wide AND too tall...
...conventional wisdom around here is 235/40-17. I'd bet somebody's put a 245/40-17 on, but seeing's how a 235 is NOT recommended, a 245 is even more NOT recommended.

So how would a 235/40WR17 shaved Kumho Ecsta V700 fare on the track with the Avus wheels? Only $149 at tire rack...

Default Kumhos are pretty wide...
I've run their Victoracer V700 in a 225/45 size on the track on my stock Avus wheels, and I wouldn't want to put any wider of a V700 on that wheel.
