Possibly S-02 PPs...

The Dunlops I think are too wide for this
There are some tuners who have put 245s (MTM) on but I am sure they have had to do some modificatons to make the wheels and tires fit. I am not sure that you need such a wide tire on a car with so little hp. A S4 with chips could make use of the extra width tire and be able to overcome the extra weight.

Thanks for all the answers...
The reason I asked is because TireRack has the Bridgestone Re71 on 245/40-17 for $101/ea. so I wanted to save a few $$$. Well, it still looks like I will go with 235/40-17 to make sure they fit without any problems.
