Default Tyre size help for 17"BBS LMs

I have a set of BBS LMs I am going to fit to my car.
The wheel sizes are : front 7 1/2 J ET48 & back 8 1/2 J ET55
I would like to use Falken FK452 tires.
Could one of you experts recommend the right tyre sizes for the above wheels?
Thank you in anticipation

The suitable valid reason for not getting BBS LMs is not the cost and risk of potholes.but that they are 19s and don't handle as well as 18s.a compromise between looks and performance is quite acceptable.Unfortunately, the LMs look too small on 18" for our cars .

Ummm whatever about the above post, with those alloys you'll be able to run the OEM 17" size tyres, ie 215/245....

uhhhh I think you posted this in the wrong thread.....

You can run 215/245 if you want, you could also run 225/255 (that would be my choice)
