What tyres to fit for my rims?

You should be first looking at your manual to check what is the proper sizes for your car instead of asking a forum where no one has any idea what you are driving.

For 8in 225-235; 8.5in 235-245, 9in 245-255; 9.5in 255-265.

with the latter number the preferred size.  225 on 8.5 will be stretched unless you are using fatter tires like Dunlop z3 or re71, where they are wider than typical 225 tires. They will still be stretched a bit but not as obvious as regular 225.

But if take this.. there would be variance to the overall diameter and height of sidewall between the front and rear tyres.

Like you said, a stock is250 already has unequal front and rear. So don’t be too worried about a 1-2% difference.

yea.. this would be my biggest concern of fitting 225 on my 8.5.. that it will be overstretched
thanks for the info!

Also to take note that once you run a staggered setup, you cannot rotate the tyres front to back (v. versa). You can dismount the tyres and swap left to right in most cases if you are running bigger camber settings. They say a staggered setup is more stable at the corners but in Singapore, a bit over-rated with family sedan. I run a staggered setup (factory spec) and constantly thinking of going non-staggered so I can save some money on the 245/40 tyres vs 225/45.

Well, it depends on whether you pushed the limit or not.

Nothing to do whether in Singapore or not.

Not seen anyone in their right mind push their stock family sedan with just rims and tyres change, although I have seen a few crashed Vios videos on youtube. Those are not my imagination. 

Next, we should go into discussion on suspension setup (control arms, sway bars, RCA, bushings and cornerweighting...etc)? He is just asking to change tyres leh, why imagine things for him?

i think the tyre shop purpose is to get the least differential as possible between front and rear with regards to overall diameter and tyre sidewall height.
am considering 235/40 and 265/35 now.

Your rear original  already 245.

U go 265. Its 1 side add 5 cm only.

The key issue is 255.35.18 is lower then 245.45.17

If u go this size. The gap between the fender  and the tyre become bigger. And it look ugly.

But your rim offset plus width  plus  265 tyre. Will it protrude  out of the fender? If out your inspection  will  fail.

If totally flush will look very nice. But u carry full load behind might rub against  tyre

i have intentions to go for aftermarket coilovers after rims are done, so gap won't be an issue.
and u just addressed out my concern. whether 265 will protrude out of fender not
and i have to pick parents at times.. full load how also a question mark.. lol!
