Need help with 235/45/17's

I need new tires and they need to be high performance all-season ( i live in Chicago ). I want to mount 235/45/17's on stock wheels. And I'm probably only going to keep the car another 10K, already at 40K.

I'm thinking of getting Dunlop SP Sport 5000. $128 a pop from TR. Load rating is 93W SL. 51 psi max pressure.

Anyone running these on stock wheels. What I really want is a picture of a 235/45/17 on a stock wheel, from the side and the back views. Can anyone help?

Thanks

I'm thinking of getting the NITTO 555's in 235/45/17 (also in Chicago) not sure how they will be in the winter, but my stocks only have 16K on them so I could swap back if I had to...

I would also like to see some pics

I got 41K out of the original tires. I rotated them a ton.

They actually are quite fun now, being that they have minimal trend left, kinda like racing tires, and they seem to corner great right now, no squealing whats so ever, great grip. But they gotta go within the next couple of weeks.

Either pics and / or owner experience with these tires would help.
