Default Need help choosing tires for 17" c6s?

hey all well i picked up some c6 replica wheels for cheap on craigs and slapped them on the t/a, seems like there is a huge wheel gap. Tires are trashed on the wheels so they need replacing the tire size on the wheels are 245/40/17s and they just seem way too short to be a proper fit.






My car is stock height, does anyone have any suggestion on a good tire size for these to get rid of the huge wheel gap?

really appreciate the help

thanks

For a 17 x 8.5 wheels go with a set of 255/45/17, or 245/45/17.
For a 17 x 9.5 wheels go with a set of 285/40/17, or 275/40/17.
