315/35/17. They won't mess with the speedo either.

315/35/17 is more common
but if youre fearless and like big tires, then a 335/35 is for you

but let me make a statement, PLEASE dont follow the trend and put 275/40/17's up front

it does 2 things you probalby dont want it to do

1. creates MORE rolling resistence
2. a wider tire up front makes the ones in back look skinnier, stay with either a stock size of 245/45 up front, OR go smaller

Very good point. I have the stock 245's up front and it does make the back look much bigger.
