Long story short.....got some hand me down rims, need new tires for front.

Keep in mind these came off a car with BMR springs (1.25" front-1.75"rear)

Specs

Front- 17x9 bullitts, current tires 225/45/17 (WAY too stretched and too
short imo.)

Rear- 18x10 bullitts, current tires 295/35/18

My question is how would it look if I went 255/50/17 in the front, obviously it wouldnt look strectched (i.e stupid) and the slightly bigger sidewall would fill out the wheel wells a bit. Would it be too much tire in front compared to the rear? I mean the front rims are an inch. smaller then the rear, so wouldnt that "offset" it then? Opinions needed!!!! AND DO NOT TELL ME TO LOWER IT BECAUSE ITS PHYSICALLY NOT POSSIBLE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!!

These are what Im looking at....

First off, what's the offset on each pair? I think your main concern will be keeping the front and rear O.D.'s the same or at least as close as possible otherwise the ABS and TCS will have a fit.

IMO, the different sidewall heights (especially the fronts being bigger) will look awkward.
