Need more info:

Rim size (diameter and width)
Rear tire size
Rear tire type

Ideally you should match front to rear. If you have less-than-stellar rear tires consider getting a fresh set of four nicer tires like RE-11s, Star Specs, RS3, etc. etc. You can check tirerack.com for a list and generic pricing info on most brands.

I'd do a 225 in the front and bump up the size on the rear to a 255.

You would want to run either a 215/45R17 or 225/45R17 depending on the offset of the wheels.
