Tire choices

I need new tires but I think the size I have on there are are limiting me to my choices. I have 245/40/17 up front and 275/40/17 in rear, wheel sizes are 17x9 +45 and 17x9.5 +38. So far the only choice I've found in that size are the Toyo Proxes 1R1. Should I drop down to a 255 width rear tire? The car is making about 360RWHP.

If the sizing works, get potenza re71r. They are the best tire on the market right now.

I wouldn't drop down to 255.
