Tire Size?

I have a 2003 Mach 1 and I need new tires. The car came with 245/45/17 all the way around, and I don't know if I should stick with that or do something else? What would you recomend??

*PS I have the stock 17x8 rims on it

On a 8" wide wheel you could go with a 255/40/17. Too much wider than that, and the tires won't have a good contact patch with the ground and will wear uneven. With that size tire your speedo will be about 3 mph faster than you are really going.
