You should go with 225/45 fronts and 255/40 rear. This will make both about the same diameter and the rear won't change your speedo too much.

I agree with XViper on this one. I have a set of LE28N 17s on my S... it's my daily driver, for an 80 mile round trip commute. I'm running 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. The car handles really well and I have no rubbing problems of any kind... then again, I don't have it lowered either, but all is well with the stock ride height and these sizes.
