New Tyre time
As above i have a wide track sti blob(UK) its currently on $hite tyres which are coming to the end of there life 
Now the dilemma i have, is do i go for the JDM size of 235/45/17 or stick with 225/45/17. is there any advantage in the jdm width with regards to handling, as there appears to be a bit of difference in price? If 235/45/17 is the way to go do i need any different load and speed rating in the tyre over the UK specs?
And finally what is the tyre of choice now on 17s?
Cheers

The wider tyre will be more expensive and, technically, worse in snow - but to be honest I doubt it'll make the slightest bit of difference. But this is just speculation.
If anything I guess it'll add a bit of extra protection for your rims.
