Question Tire Size Question...Clueless (Searched)

Ok, i got 2 quick questions and i hope i dont get flamed.
I have searched a few forums and havent found a definative answer and decided to ask as a last resort.

I got a set of Sportmax 962(i know alot of people dont like them) for very very cheap from a friend($250).

I got 17X7 +38 up front (yeah i know its very weak) and 17X9 +35(equally as weak) but i was going to use at least 15mm spacer with 60mm ARP lug studs up front. I am not terribly worried about flushness, i just want the front wheels to some what match the rear wheel flushness. Will that do it?

As for the second question. What size tires should i run with this setup? I would like to run 225's up front, but think that might be to big. More like 205 or 215's right? And for the rears i was thinking a 245 or so and 40 series tire. Will that look decent(as in neither of the tires look stretched or should i run different sizes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am clueless about this and have been reading like mad. Thanks again for the help.

-Chris
