how much is the price difference, tho? the width isn't much wider:
Tire Size Product Code Approved Rim Width Range (inch) Tire Weight (lbs.) Tread Depth (1?32") Tread Width (inch) Inflated Dimension Static Loaded Radius (inch) Max. Load (lbs.) Max. Pressure (PSI) Revs Per Mile
225/45ZR17 94W RD 168170 7.0-7.5-8.5 24 6 8.7 25.0 9.1 11.6 1477 50 832

The 255s would be a step up, but 245s aren't going to gain for the money, imo, over 235s.
fwiw, I have 235/40 RA1s on my 17x8 OZ SLs. and currently on the street with 225/45 RT615 on 17x7.5 OEM RS4 Types.<ul><li><a href="http://marktg.toyotires.com/file/30029.pdf">http://marktg.toyotires.com/file/30029.pdf</a</li></ul>
