Default Help Me Decide.

I finally picked up my new set of wheels for my 68 coupe. Got the 17X8 american racing Torq Thrust Two's. w/4.75" of B.s. I have the front of the car lowered one inch, via 620 1 inch drop coils. Other than that i have a stock V-8 suspension. Im trying to decide what size tire to run in the front and in the rear. Im leaning towards 245/45/17's in the back, but im not sure if i want to run the same in the front, ( fear of clearance issues) or if i should stagger them down to a 235/45/17. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you reviewed Nick's table of wheel/tires combinations?
