stock tires are not going to fit safely on a new rim... you need to upgrade both

AM.com tells you the best fitting tires for each certain size rim so I won't go through all of them. You won't be able to use the stock tires unless you already have a 17" rim on the car which most likely is not the case.

what would be a good Rim ratio?

front: 17x8, 17x9, 17x10.5, 18x9?
Rear: 18x9 or 18x10 or 17x10.5?

and Price wont matter.
