I agree with arnelr21. With the 59mm offset rear you may be able to fit the 255/40R17 on the back. If you want to be safe you can do 225/45R17 or 215/45R17 front with 245/40R7 rear. There are some excellent tires in these sizes. Are you looking for the best performance or a little better tread life and comfort?
Let me know and I can go from there.

Nice wheels.

Sure you need 225 in the front for N/A?

Remember, w/ more tread on the ground, the less responsive in steering, and worse mpg (however marginal they may be). With more grip up front, the rear can step out more repidly. It can be good or bad depending on your driving style/preference. Just something to consider.

Btw, Kumho MX is an excellent compromise between budget, tread life and grip performance.
