Default Tyres for Comps

Just bought a set of 17" Compomotive's with a staggered 7.5" on the front and 8" on the rear. Anybody got any ideas on what tyres sizes I should be using on a 3dr Cosworth.

My local tyre/alloy centre say 205/40/17 front and 225/35/17 rear. Is this right???

Cheers

i personally think that 205's look a little too stretched on a 7.5" rim, so would go with a 215 40 17, then at the back you should be able to fit on 235 40 17's
