Need help with tire sizing

hello fellow acura fans

I need help to see what size tires to get. I just got 18x8 rims for my acura tlx 2017.

I am stuck between getting 245/50/18 and 245/45/18

any help would be great. Thank you!

I would go for what’s closest to stock diameter, so 245/45R18 is what I would aim for if you didn’t want the stock 225/50R18.

Also, obligatory

I have 245/45/18 and they pretty much ride stock. There's a huge difference in handling and feel compared to the OEM 225/50/18. Overall I like the change.
