Default Looking to get new wheels, tire size question

I am currently looking at getting a new set of wheels, the front wheels size is 17x9 and the rear is 17x10.5. I have no idea what size tires i should be looking at getting.

Any help on a proper size and where to buy would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Also look on Tire Racks website, they have charts for what size tire should fit what size rim.

Then click on specs.
DiscountTire.com and tirebuyer.com also have good prices.

Hey I would recommend a 255 width for the 9inch rim and a 310 width for the 10.5 inch rim

Cant seem to find a 310 width that fits a 17" rim. Widest I have seen is 275.

I used to run 315 Sumitomos on an 11" wheel on my old F-body. Might be able to get away with that size on a 10.5 if it's a tire that runs a little narrow like the Sumis did. BTW the 17" 315s look like freaking steam rollers! (In a good way of course)
