Default What size tires should I run?

I will plan to pick up some 17x7.5's in the front (+45mm) and 17x8's in the rear (+48mm) sometime in the near future. What size tires should I run? 245/45/17's in the rear? Front? I'm new to buying tires for a car with a staggered set up. thanks.

It depends how much your car is lowered. It might rub. You don't have to get the alignment again if it doesn't rub.
