Default 225/45/17s - or bigger?

i have stock Si suspension. hasn't been lowered at all.

225/45/17 falken azenis did fine. i've worn through them almost completely at 15k miles.

I am gonna get bridgestone potenza pole positions. can you recommend me a tire size?

i'm gonna stick with 17's. can i go wider without rubbing issues?

so maybe 235/45/17 or 235/40/17?

what do you think? I don't want rubbing issues. thanks :D

I wouldn't put 235 on the stock wheels. If you had wider wheels, it would work fine. For stock wheels, the most I would go is 225
