If I run 275/50 17 on the rear what I am looking at for the front? 255/50 or 255/55s?

275/17 tires would be perfect. Depending on the tire as well. Nitto's run small, BFG's run big. If you go Nitto's, go 285 in a Nitto. BFG's, go 275.

I have the Falken 275-50-17 on back with the rear Roush lowering springs. I didn't like the lookof the stock 235-55-17 Perillis on front soI just got a set of Yokohama Avids 225-65-17 for the front to fill out the front wheelwell better. I will post pics when I get them mounted on the car. My car is stock height up front. The stock Perillis are 27.2 in height, the rear Falkens are 28 in height, and the front Yokohamas are 28.5 in height. I was looking to put a taller and narrower tire up front but you are really limited with the 8" rim width.
Wow...I'm really interested in those pics.
