you are absolutely fine with what you have - if you had super low profile tires than yea..get a tire with more meat on it...by the way 205/45-17 is the tire size...but you are fine

355 front wheel HP? The only way you're going to get traction is to either launch in 4th...or buy slicks. But I'm guessing you're into racing on the streetzzzzzz.

Iduno...no matter what size wheels you buy, you're never gonna hook up without slicks. If you were ready to track up, buying the slicks wouldn't be an issue.
