315/35/17 D/R`s + front tire size
Im getting the 315/35/17`s for my car and was wondering what size you guys recommend using for the front. Would the stock 245/45/17`s look ok, or should I get a different size? What sizes are you guys running?

I run that size in the rear plus the stockers up front. I say that is doesn't look too bad, and most people won't notice that there is an actual size difference between the two.

I will be going 275/40/17 in front and the 315/35/17 in back. Because i will be going the black bullitt's. If I was keeping the same wheel color I would just replace the back wheels and tires and be done with it. Either of these looks would look great.

^why does everyone go wider in the front is well?
as you can see in my sig- I went as skinny as I could go on stock rims in the front.
I mean if you are in it just for "looks" I guess I could see why...
but going with what I have (look in my sig) still looks great (doesnt look like 4" SKINNIES up front or anything)
and now Im about an 1" less wide in the front from stock...little shorter as well.
so takes off a little weight and still looks great.
SKINNY in the FRONT... FAT in the BACK

well.... i think alot of people go alittle wider in the front just to take twisties better.... i know my truck with 305's in the front and back handles like a beast with stock suspension... my stang cant touch my truck in the turns.
