I lowered my car on Sportlines and was really happy with the drop when I still had my stock 16’s with 225/50’s on them. But now that I have 17’s I have 235/45’s in the rear and it’s sitting like a muscle car, and the wheel gap looks like it’s increased a little bit. Would switching to a 225/45 in the rear make a noticable difference? Or maybe a 235/40? I will get pics up as soon as I can to show you what I mean… ---

Switching to a 45 would definitly make a difference. Maybe an 1" or closer to the fender. ---

235 45 17 is less than 3% larger circumference than stock wheels for an S13, S14 are not much bigger. Its a visual thing, you see the wheel filling up a bit more of the wheel well and it looks jacked altough its really not.
