Need some suggestions on tyres.

Hey guys just a quick question here. Now I am not a tyre wiz or anything, but I have a set of WORK wheels ill include the pic. Now they are 17x7 in the front and 17x8 in the back but tyre size on them is horrible as i have been told. 225/50/17. Now I know the wheels are small size and all, but they are just a temporary wheels untill i find a better and bigger set. But what i need to have an opinion on is what would be the possibly nicest set of tyres for these wheels, making the rims look better?

I have been offered to fit the wheels with 225/45/17, any other suggestions?

Thanx in advance.

what kind of look at your going for? do you want stretch? fat? skinny? 225/45/17 is not going to stretch, it's just going to be thinner due to a smaller sidewall. i don't know about nz but the aussies have some retarded law about the legal load bearing a tire has and how it cannot deviate below a certain point. it really all depends on what you want to do and what your'e willing to do to get there.
