new coilovers, new wheels..new tires next. need advice

hey i just ordered some coilovers and I am planning on using some wheels ive had sitting around for a while now, they are 17x8 +32 offset. Im wondering what tire size you guys would go with based on the fact that I want a relatively flush look (will be experimenting with spacers), will NOT be rolling my fenders, and I will not be insanely low. Im really looking for a very functional setup that still looks good. What would you guys do?

A 225 wide tire is a good starting place to fit an 8" rim.
Assuming an FD, a 225/45-17 is a good diameter as well. A number of great handling tires come in this size.

What coilovers?
What do you do with the car? street only, track only, mix, show, daily driver...
