What tire for focus st wheels

[BigPapi]

Picked up some ford focus st wheels . I test fitted them with a 245/55/18 . Factory tire is 225/65/17 but when you put the two side by side the 245/55/18 is approx a half inch shorter than the 225/65/17 even though the spec's says the 245 tire is taller. The plan is to lower the truck next year so what size tire would you put on? 225/60/18 235/60/18 or 245/55/18

Looking at the size charts to keep speedo closer, bigger 245/60/18 should be good.

Did you compare the two tires side by side? The good year 245/55/18 was wider but shorter than my 225/65/17 what tire do you run?

Continental DWC and they spec at 28.6 inches tall when mounted on a wheel.
