Default NSX spec wheels 18r 17f, what size tires?

I just picked up a set of NSX spec BBS LMs in a staggered fitment 18x9+42r and 17x8+38f
I'm wondering what tire sizes i should go for this set up? The tires that were on them before were 265/35/18 and 215/40/17 I'm assuming that these wont fit?

id go with 225/45/17 up front and 255/35/18 in the back because of the offsets.

why would he use a spacer and make an aggressive offset even more aggressive? that is the reason why i recommended the sizes i did. with those size and offsets the OP would need as much clearnace as possible.
