Default What tires sizes to get for these rims

What size tires should I get for these rims?

Rims are sizes:
Front 17x7.5 offset 48
Rear 17x8 offset 45

These wheels came with tires that are 225/45/17 on Front, 245/40/17 in the rear.
I thought that setup give a lot of oversteer. Could I user 255 on the rear or should I reduce the size of the fronts?

With those offsets id go 215 in the front. 245 is prob already going to rub in the back with a 45 offset.

I don't think 245 will rub. This thread says they are okay

spacers are the wrong idea. You want the wheel to be going more inward not outward. +45 offset rear is going to be really close to the fender. Im pretty sure you will need to roll the rear lips.
