[s-cars] 17X8 Bolero tire choices?

[jpb3wvu at frontiernet.net]

Gents,

I have a set of Boleros that I purchased and used on my V8 that were
from a Canadian S6.  They had yoko's 245/40 on them and looked
ridiculous on my V8, talk about a Rancho gap!!!  Well, I have since
added the S6 to my stable and now want to put the Boleros on the proper
car.  My question is with the stock suspension I am currently running
(and will probably go through a set of tires before that is
changed)should I proceed with a 245/40 series tire or can I go to a 45
profile and not have clearance issues?  The reason for the taller
profile is that I would like to minimize the tire to fender gap as much
as possible.  Am I wrong in thinking that the set of Boleros with
245/40 series tires will have a bigger gap than the stock US S6 16"
Avus wheels with 225/50 tires?  Thanks for any insight!

John
