They may be lighter but it will take longer for them to complete a revolution. That's something you need to think about.

 

you could probably fit a 245 wide tire on there if you have the right offset wheel.

Why not? All depends what he is doing with the car and how much he is going to spend on the car.

BTW- Im running 225-45-17 Azenis.

 

i would go with 225/45/17

See if you can go 235/40-17. There's a surprising number of performance tires in that size.
