Default proper tire size to 17x7.5 and 17x8

I know these aren't exactly the best offset for an s2000, but what would be the best tires on a lowered s2k (i'm on coilovers).. I guess i don't mind if the tires would be stretched, since this would help reduce the chances of rubbing on such a low offset wheel.. but I was thinking:

215/45/17
235/40/17 (instead of the 240 from stock)..

I was afraid the 240 was designed for the stock 8.5, might stick out more on a an 8.0? But with this setup, would the front tires look bigger? Any other combo suggestions?

Thanks!

I would say 215/45R17 and 245/40R17 rear. The 235/40R17 would not be tall enough for the rear.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
