Why not stick with what reccomended.
Highly doubt you'll get anymore performance out of a wider size vs a more sticky oem sized tire.

The 225/45&245/40 combo leaves a bit of room to go wider, I wouldn't go wider than a 245/40 in front on the 8.5" and a 265/35 would be the most I'd run on a 9", anything wider will be a pinch mount. IMO a 235/45 and 255/40 would be a nice width upgrade but not excessive.

I was able to run 245/40 and 275/35 on the sport wheels...never had issues. You do notice the additional stickiness but handling was on point.

Perfect, I had the rear at the same size as your recommendation just wasn't sure about the front; ordering tires this week. Thanks for the advice
