Default need new rears, another tire mismatch ?

the dealership replaced my oem 225/50/17 fronts due to feathering, but now i need some rears. 235/50/17 (oem) isn't a very popular size so i was thinkin 255/45/17. would that set up be the closest to stock diameters? would this create any ride problems or throw off the traction control? i've seen that 245/45/17 255/45/17r is what most of you guys with 17s have been doin. any input would be appreciated, thanks

I assume that this is your plan. I would prefer that the rear tires be 0.50 inches taller than the front.
