Default Toyo R888R or Potenza Sport???

It’s time to change my tires on my rwd sapphire Cosworth and I do not know what to choose.
I used to have 215/45/17 Michelin Sport Cup2 and now I am thinking about something wider.
I am thinking about two options:
1. Bridgestone Potenza Sport 225/45/17 (front) and 245/40/17 (rear)
2. Toyo R888R 225/45/17 (front) and 235/45/17 (rear)
I am not going to use it for track days but I want my car to have a lot of grip, excellent steering response (like Cup2’s used to)
what is your advice?

45 profiles too tall for 17s
should be on 40 profile, eg. 235/40 17
