I have these rims on Turanza EL42's 225/45R/17 all around. Im planning on getting tires soon and i need some advice. Can i go with 235/45R/17 in the front? Problem? How will the car handle differently compared to 225's. Can i fit 255's on my rears? Should i go 245 instead?

Since the wheels are the same size all around, I'd stick to the same size tires all around too. 235/45/17 will fit fine and probably 245/45/17 too. I think 255 is too wide on an 8" wheel.

if i were you i'd focus more on getting some wheels other than tires. but that's just my $0.02
