Default Best Tire Sizes for 16" CS Wheels

I just have a quick question here about tire sizes. Assuming I'm going to use stock CS rims (8" front and 9" rear), what is the thinking on best tire sizes?

1.) Front rims seem awful large for the normal 225/50 tires and there seems to be an advantage with wider tires on the front.

2.) Back rims seem like they would be good with the 245/45 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11.

What's the general experience about this here?

Thanks, John

Do you have the offsets for those? An 8" wheel will be good for up to 245 in most tires. Depending on the offset that might touch the fender. Rears are easier for fitment so get the widest that'll fit the wheel and match the diameter of the fronts, or be a bit more.
