Used OEM would be the cheapest in all honesty

stock sizes for the AP2 wheels are 245/40/17 rears and 215/45/17 fronts, but you can go with 255/40/17-225/45/17 setup if you want...

Exactly.

I have learned that it's just best to not be cheap when buying parts.

You dont want to do that. You can't stretch the tire safely on an 8.5 rim. You need a 245 or 255 tire on the rear
