What Tire Size to get for 17x8's

[RaptorRacing]

Hey Guys, our Braid Rims should be here any day now and I've decided to go
with the Yokohama ES100's. Really wanted the Toyo's or the S02's but my wallet didn't let me. Anyway, I've decided to go 255/40/17 for the back 17x9's, but wanted to get your opinions on what would be better for the front 235's or 245. Thanks again for all your advice.

George, I would get 235/45 for the fronts to go along with 255/40 on rears.
As for myself, I'm still debating on which tires to go with for 265/40 which is not a common size. Deciding b/w Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 (cheap), Bridgestone S-03 (expensive), Dunlop SP 9000 (somewhat expensive).

Whoops, I kinda goofed on rec'md tire size for front. 245/40-17 fronts would be closer in tire wall height to 255/40-17 rears.

I'd recommend the 245/40R17 too. That's what I am running on the front of my car. So is Malloy.
