I'm not sure of what size is best on 10" wide wheels. 315s are perfect on 11" wide wheels. Probably 285s or 295s will be what you want.
Re: wheel?
You only have three choices....
275/40-17
315/35-17
Both of the above match the diameter of the stock 245/50-16 tires, and have no affect on speedo.
285/40-17
That will be slightly larger in diameter and will cause the speedo to read less than 1mph low at 60mph.
Some manufacturers require at least a 10.5" wide wheel for a 315/35-17. A few will accept putting them on a 10.0" wide wheel.
The only 295/40-17's I've seen are racing compound tires.
