Doug,

Check the tread width spec for the tires you plan to run.

IMO, you won't notice the difference between 47.8% or 45.5%, if those are indeed the correct values for tire contact....esp. on the street! On the track, there are many things that will determine how your car handles. FWIW, I ran my car at the track with 205/245's and I had a blast! Driver input on the track (and on the street in some cases) is more important than the 2.3% difference.
