Thumbs up Big diference ! ?

I just got a new set of 245/45zr17's for the Lexus. I am wondering if the "visual" diference in these pics will turn out to be a diference on the car as well. Better the ride and or handling ?? Quite a noticeable diference from a 235 to a 245. I think it fits the wheel so much better. I would think that since I am riding on the Tein flex, it should improve the ride and handling at least a little no?? What do you all think?

those may have been the same size when the 235's had some tread. those are pretty bald! Nice even tire wear though...
