You should be able to do a 245/45/17 up front. In the back you have more room, you could run a 245/50/17 if you wanted or even a 255/45/17 or 255/50/17, although you may only find light truck tires in the larger 50 series tires so you’ll have to see what’s available to match the front.

I haven’t run the Fire Hawk Indy’s myself but I’ve heard good things about them. Beyond that it depends on your plans for the car, I try to keep the tread wear ratings in the 200’s nowadays but definitely below about 350.
