I chose 235/45. It's closer to keeping the same diameter of your oem wheels & tires without having to recalibrate your speedometer.

Handling is great although I wish I had better brakes. There is no more squeal from tight turns or sudden take offs. The ride will be more firm than on stock wheels though. I have to go a quite a bit slower over speed bumps and watch for potholes more diligently.

You may want to think about some suspension adjustments to get the most out of your new wheels & tires.
