Default '04 GT Stock Tires? 245/45Z/R17

I am about to buy new tires. What do you recommend for new tires? I would like to keep my current stock 17" and get a larger diameter tire or something better? (Now I have GoodYear Eagle Z45 245/45Z/R17)

Thanks

You can go with a 275/40/17 on the stock wheels, some people advise against it.

I ran them on my 02 GT and they were great.

I agree, it will look much better with the 245s on front. Thanks
