Tire size question?

Hey I was just wondering what would be the best width of tire for my rear wheel drive bmw 318ic I am planning on getting 17x8 all around but my good friend broaner says I should do 17x8.5 in the rear because I plan on going boosted in the future. thanks

My gut feeling is that 17x8 is plenty wide even with a boosted 318. For looks, though, 17x9 would look a lot better for the back two, and the width wouldn't hurt.
