Default Drag Radial size for high hp??

I am looking for some decent sized street tires for my integra with 17x7.5 rims and currently about 330whp and i am retuning for a bit over 400 whp soon. I am debating wether i should go with another set of 205/40/17, or if i should go to 225/45/17?? Is 225/45/17 too big (it is a 25" tire)?? I have coilovers so i can raise it if i need to fit them so my only other worry is width but i think that should be ok. These will be street driven and used at the track occasionally.

BTW, i did search and didn't find what i was looking for so thanks for the help in advance.

Stick with 205/40-17, since you'll be using them for street use.

Yes, and 15's would probably be even better, but i have a nice set of 17s so im sticking with them for right now. It will make enough power to scoot as fast as i need to go.
