17x8 and 17x8.5 - What size tires are good?

I just got a set of 17x8 wheels up front and 17x8.5 for the rear on my FD off of a Japanese-spec FD.
What size tires should I run to keep the speedo as close to correct as I can?
And, whats the widest I can run before running into problems?

Thanks in advance!

I would do 225/45/17 and 255/40/17. Or do 245 in rear. Come to San Jo and I'll set you up with a good deal.

The tires that originally come on those wheels are 235/45 and 255/40. My site has a few other details about those rims.
