On a set of 17x9 chrome cobra R wheels, whats the best looking tire size hands down? My car has a set of B springs, riding on 245/45/17 with 17x8 wheels no rubbing issues at the moment

oh i see your car is lowered a bit...you may be able to get away with 255 out back but i would stick with 245 for the front.

i'm running 245/45/17 up front, and 275/40/17's on 17x9 cobras all around in the back. i like the slight overhang of the 275's MUCH better. one rear tire rubs VERY slightly on the inside of the fender under hard corners, the other doesn't.... car is not lowered though. i also dont like that if u ever touch a curb with the 245's, it'll chew the chit outta your rims.
