215 if your 245 in the rear
225 if your 255 in the rear

Maintain close to stock handling characteristics.
Missmatching could cause adverse over or under steer. JMO

I am runinng 215. 215 is a common size recommended by tire manufacturer. You are able to run 225 but there will be chances for rubbing.

I'm running the stock RE050 sizes, works great on CE28's. Lowered a little over an inch, have never rubbed.

I agree with the recommended sizes. Just keep the 215 with the 245 rear and teh 225 with the 255 rear.

I have ordered a set of CE28N's and was going to go 225/45 front and 255/40 rear.

The only reason I am going to go up one size is due to the new wheels being 1/2" wider than stock. 7.5" rim width is supposed to run a 225 tire and the 9" rear should be a 255, JMO.
