Default Staggered Tire Sizes

ok, I have 17x8 rims and 245/45/17's all the way around. I need bigger tires in the rear. Ive been looking at Tire Specs for tread width and Overall Diameter online. looks like I should go to 255/55/17 in the rear which should be about an inch wider and 2" more in diameter. what are you guys running that have staggered tires? Feel free to post pics here for me so that I can see how they look. Thanks.

205/60/15 front and 235/60/16 rear on the 67
245/45/20 front and 275/40/20 rear on the SS

It sucks for both, the SS is my track/DD and the rims are different width so no rotations. The 67 is more of a cruise/garage car so its not as bad since the tires will likely be replaced due to age before tread. It does have that jacked up look from the rear though, but not too extreme.

I think it all depends on how you plan to drive it. My buddy got some of those Nitto drag radials for special occasions and then it turned into everyday being a special occasion.
