The rafter will be 45x170
Nails or screws.

Take a screw, easier to screw in one end, attach a level and tighten. If it becomes crooked, just loosen and tighten again. A 6x80/90mm screw will be just right.

...and glue, for bövelen! Otherwise, there will be creaking.

I aligned and secured the floor with screws. Then I took nails and firmly fastened everything.
Screws are usually more expensive than nails.
