225/45r17 vs 225/40r17

I'll be getting some new rims and tires soon and plan to stick with 17s. 17x7.5 actually. I was looking for some pics to compare the sidewall and fender gap difference between the 2 (225/45 and 225/40). Its lowered on sportlines right now. I know the speedo is slightly off with both. About 1%+ and 1%-.



12.6 @ 114.6 MPH

as long as they dont rub(I dont think they will), id go with the 225/45s if it were me, since your boosted too, a slightly taller tire may help with traction for launching.
