Im picking up these rims Gram Lights 57F

they are 8.5 wide but regardless if i choose the 7.5 wide or the 8.5 wide it says the tire size for my car should be 225 wide, how wide can you go on a 8.5" wide rim without sacraficing performance and safety, furthermore, is that too wide for the supra to worry about rubbing *im lowered 2.5 from stock all round* and furthermore to that, would it make more sense to go 225/40/18 on front and 245/40/18 on back? I remember hearing that different sizing upsets balance.
