This is only one opinion. I think you could go up to 215 on the front and 245 on the rear, just like the OEM sizes on the AP2. However, due to the low offset, they won't tuck into the wheel wells like the stock car. The fronts will be closer to the fender lip as will be the rear. As long as you keep the stock ride height, you shouldn't rub. Those rims are not the ideal offsets, but they will work. Handling may change somewhat, so it would be wise to explore the car's new limits carefully.
