What size tires should I get?

Hello everybody!!

I have a 1983 Z28 and I am wanting to replace my original wheels with a set of OEM I-ROC style. I have heard for the best ride results is to use 17" OK!! Now what size tires do I buy? I have heard of the following to use, 17" x 8" 245/45, 275/45
and 245/40... I am not so sure about the last one... because it may rub in the well when turning... any suggestions would be great.

The 245/45R-17 will give you the best fit and least problems with rubbing, and the least speedometer discrepency on a 17 x 8 rim.
