Plus Zero tire size for Aero?

I know this has been discussed before for the 16" wheel combination, but I've not seen anything about the 17" wheels.
What have you put on your Aero to get a bit more tire under there than the stock 225/45-17's?
Looking at the specs for the Dunlop SP9000's, I see that the 245/40-17 size has similar revs/mile (840 vs 835 stock) and 0.3" difference in Diameter. 225/45-17 was measured on a 8" wheel, the larger one was measured on an 8.5" wheel. My summer wheels will be 17X8 (18" is not available for the Saab, so that's not an option), so the slight difference will probably make the two tires even closer in size. Here's the million dollar question: I know those tires will fit on the wheels I'm getting, but will they fit under the car?
Does anyone think this is a good idea, or am I just suffering from tire envy?
Any help or shared experiences (good or bad) is appreciated!
Brad
