The ASA AR1's are a nice wheel for sure, good choice. with regards to the tires, maybe im just partial to falken, but the 452 (summer) and 912 (all season) are both GREAT tires for the money. I run the 912's in a 225 50 15 on my car and they are far better then any previous tire i have run (and thats a lot of tires LOL)
x2 on the rims - very nice - and I agree about the Falkens. I've had 6 sets of Falken tires (winter, summer, track only) and frankly right now I wouldn't even consider a different brand.
I get my tires in the states where the ZE-512 is still available and that's my Z-rated summer tire of choice.
In terms of size for every day street I'd recommend the stock SVT size of 215-45-17 ... just make sure your offset is correct for the rim width, and personally I wouldn't go wider than 7.5".
