Since the Bridgestone Re01R is not available in 215/45/17 yet, I'm looking at either 225/45/17 or 235/40/17 for the fronts and 245/40/17 rear. 255/40/17 would not work for me in the rear as they would be too wide.

The 225/45 is .3" taller than the 245/40 and the 235/40 is .3" shorter.

Which should I go with?

I like the 225/45R17 and 255/40R17. They end up being about 1/3" taller front and rear but they will fit on the OE wheels no problem.
If I can help let me know. I do have a couple sets of the 255/40R17 in stock at this time.

I would run the 255/40/17 rear, but I'm sure I'll rub my fenders. They've already been cut. These are not going to be stock wheels.

So if it were down to the 225/45 or 235/40, which should I go with?

The 235/40R17 would be too short. I would stay with the 225/45R17. What width and offset are your wheels? The 255/40R17 does fit and work with the AP2 wheels.
If I can help let me know.
