Go with OEM sizing, however, without stating what the offsets are, this is just a wild guess.

offset 48 front, 50 rear.... i might go with a 45 front (haven't decided yet)

wouldn't using oem sizes make the diameter of the wheel/tire combo larger??

Yes, you can't put the OEM 16" tires on a 17" wheel.

The fronts will work if you stick to OEM sizing on the tire. The rear rims are about 15 mm shy of what they should be, so again, don't go wider than OEM width.

I believe OEM is 215's front and 245s rear. I'm sorry, I can't remember the aspect ratio. I "think" they're 50 and 45 respectively. Please wait for someone else to post to confirm this.
