86 951 Tire Size / Set Up for 16x9 & 16X8 ???

I just purchase a set of 16x9 Fuchs for my 86 951 and will be moving the 16x8's to the front.....my question is what size tires can I fit on the 16x8's in the front without rolling the fenders or doing any mods.

I plan on running 245/45/16's on the rears....any thoughts on this ?

Thanks for the feedback in advance.

Scott

86 951 here

Have 225/50/16 front and 245/45/16 rear no rubbing
8x16 fuchs front
9x16 fuchs rear

Tires are Toyo T1R. Room to spare with these. They seem to fit more round in the side walls as opposed to square with these wheel widths.

Your thread title is messed up

x2 with above.. 225/245 combo works great (if you can find a brand that makes both sizes these days and in the future).
