All-seasons? Summer only? Price range?
Best is relative. Considering you daily drive the car, we need to know more about the conditions it will be driven in? Temp range? Snow? Etc?

Yes my bad man, I live in Georgia so temps are high in the summer and normally 30's or 40's in the winter sometimes higher sometimes lower. And I have seen both all season and summer tires but I'm not sure which would be better for my car appearance and performance wise considering it doesn't get super cold here during the fall and winter. Which would you recommend? And the price range umm.. I would like to stay at around $110 a tire or less if possible give or take some
Radial TA's!
Err... Do they still make those?
Anyways, a 245/45/16 would take off about an inch in overall diameter compared to stock. Losing sidewall will also cost some traction and make the ride a little rougher. Consider going with a near stock 245/50/16 instead.
Stock up front would be 225/55/16. And if you drop all the way to a 225/40/16, you're going to effectively give your car a 3/4" rake towards the front, even with the rears you mentioned.
After a quick look at tire rack, there are about 10 options in 245/50/16, and I like the G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S for all seasons and the Sport Comp 2s for summers. At 120 & 130 dollars respectively, they're close to your goal in cost, too. There are much cheaper tires if you don't care about how sporty they are.

I have the sport comp 2s and like them a lot. Plenty of grip in acceleration and braking

I've had multiple sets of Nitto 555's over the years and have always been happy with the. I'm currently running the 555 G2s.
Never mind I just realized you have 16s and Nitto doesn't make a 555 in a 16. You would have to run the 450s. We ran the 450s those on my wife's Z4 and liked the performance and wear.
