Hey guys... I'm getting a million different answers from a million different places, and I just want to definitivly pick the best tire size for my new wheels on their way.  (They arrive Friday, Feb. 23rd!)

I bought 17 x 7 wheels with a 42 offset.  I'm looking to put the most rubber on the road I can with this size wheel.  In the tire I've chosen the available 17" sizes are:

205/40/17
215/40/17
215/45/17
225/45/17
235/45/17
245/45/17

Any help you guys can offer would be much appreciated.  I just can't get any clear answers whether or not the 225's or 235's will actually work or not!

Oh yes... I'm also open to other size suggestions..I'll just have to find a different make of tire.

the 225  and the 235 will work with a 7" rim... the 245 realy needs 7.5 or 8 " wide rim.    

Currently im running 225/45/15  on a 15x7" rim.  The other thing to keep in mind is overal diam. of the tire. Since that effect take off and overal crusing.

No pictures to take just yet... they haven't arrived!  I bought my tires today locally... found them for a price that was only just a few bucks over Tire Racks shipped price.

They WILL be on the car for Saturdays meet however... I know the anticipation is killing me.. so I'll just let ya'll share the pain. lol.
