I am going to be putting 17 x 8.5's all the way around my car. I called 50resto to see what they said about tire sizes for the front and rear, they said 245 in the rear and 235 in the front but they didnt say what series tire to use. anybody want to voice there opinion?

I want to go a little larger in the rear(255, 60 series tire) and I want to go with a big as tire as possible in the front w/o rubbing so the car/tire combo doesnt look stupid. Would a 235 40 series tire work? or would i have to go 35 or 30?

Thanks in Advance!

Later...
