For me, I've found that tracks with long, open straights, the narrower/smaller diameter tires have a top speed advantage.
Of course its a GPS logger.

For a 9" wide rim, the 245 would be more optimum a profile. There will be less sidewall deflection so the handling is going to feel tighter and more precise. I run a 255 up front, but I pair it with 10" wide rim for the same reasons stated for the 245/9".
You could consider running a staggered 245/255 on a non stag 9" as well.

Doesn't the CR come with 255 on 8.5" wheels stock?

255 can be run on the 8.5"
Just as a 225 can be run on a 7" wheel, but a 205 is a more optimal fitment for the 7"...so would a 245 fit best with a 9" or a 255 to a 9.5"
The more optimal the fitment, the better the increased steering feel and handling of the car. When the tire is mounted to a narrow, less optimal, fitment the steering feel will become more vague with the excessive sidewalk deflection.
