Tire size

im replacing my stoke 16 x8" firebird wheels with 17 x 9.5" wheels. factory tires are 235/60R16, the stoke wheels currently have 215/60R16 in front, n 225/60R16 rear [previous owner]. i was wondering what would be the best size sport tire to get. i've been looking at 245/45R17, or 255/40R17. any help y'all can give me would be really appreciated.

Xsta is correct. If the wheels are 17x9.5 front and back, stick with 275's all the way around.
