I just got my new wheels today !!!! Thanks guys for the help with finding the right wheel. Now I need help with what size tires to get. I got 17x9 rims so,I was told by the guy at the tire place to get 245/40/17. I'm lowering my car 2" so I want a low pro tire. What should I get ????

i had 245s in the front and 275s in the rear, anything skinnier than a 255 on the rear doesn't look right imo.
