225/45 on the front. even though they say the 50 is about the same diamiter, it looks like it is not on the car. IE, the front tires will look taller than the rears. plus you get a little lower in the front without sacrificing suspension geometry. i think the actual recomended size is 205/50.

+1

I have 245s on the rear and they are too narrow for my 9" fuchs. I have 225s up front on 7s though so maybe with 8s up front you would get that same stretched look (ie the side wall stretching out to fit the wider wheel). I would go bigger than 245s for a better appearance and go bigger than 225s for 8s up front. Not to mention they will fill out the fender better.

This has always bugged me on my tire package I have now.
