    How does the sidewalls look with the wider tire?
    Can I go with a higher sidewall? Like, 5mm higher

    Not if you're trying to keep the cost down. 245/45R17 is a fairly common tire. If you want to go taller to stay with the same diameter as OEM, you're going to pay through the nose to fit a 17" rim.
