If your running street tyres and still have power steering, chuck on the biggest tyres you can get. Front end grip is hard to gain so bigger is better. Worry about the rear when you have the front dialled. Thats what circuit racing/time attack has taught me.
I've got nothing against a 255, I simply mentioned a 245 as it is just a little easier to fit under the car without wrecking things. Hard to get away with more positive offset than +35 on a 9" wheel though guy, even that size will contact the rear trailing arm in some cases.

You're right that the front is where the magic happens, but I was guessing that OP was just starting out so in his case I'd avoid a staggered setup simply for economic reasons.
