Do any of these tires stretch good?

[Lowyota]

Any on this list?

It will be just a very slight stretch 205/45-17 on 17x8. Should I look for something with, or without a rim protector? Anything else I should know? I'm new to the scene any help would be appreciated.

Or this list, up to $120 mark?

Ohtsu FP7000 is the best stretch you're going to get on 17x8.

Pics for reference. 17x8 205/40

Will a tire with a "softer, flexible" side wall properly stretch better that a tire with a "harder, not flexible" side wall.

For example is it better to go with a touring or all-seasonal tire with a softer side wall for ride comfort, than a high performance summer tire.

Does the speed rating make difference, like a W rated summer or high performance all-seasonal vs. a V rated touring all-seasonal?

I'm debating on:

1. Kumho Ecsta AST (S.W. ?, H rated)
2. Kumho Ecsta PA31 (S.W. 8.1", V rated)
3. Nankang NS-20 (S.W. ?, V rated)
4. Hankook Ventus V2 concept2 (S.W. n/a, V rated)
5. Kumho Ecsta 4X (S.W. 8.1", W rated)
6. Dunlop Direzza DZ101 (S.W. 8.1", W rated)
7. General G-Max AS-03 (S.W. 8.4", W rated)

In that order. I'm also looking at section width (S.W.) to try to judge if the tires run small, normal, or large.
