Default Wheel/ tire help

I need some help determining what wheel/ tire sizes I should be working with.

Car is a 2015 civic si sedan
~190whp/165tq
Recent time slip (#819): http://imgur.com/a/pLPQC

Having trouble breaking into the 14's, my current pb is 15.0. My only track is fontana autoclub speedway.

I've been running my daily set up of 17x9 rpf1 with a 225/45 summer tire. I recently got a great deal on some 245/45/17 R comps and am getting mixed information as to whether these are too big to run, basically not enough power for the size.

I also have a 13lb 17x7 wheel I'd like to use, but the 245 tire is too big to mount. Should I sell the tires and get something to fit the 17x7 wheel? Or will the 245 on my 17x9 perform well?

Thanks
