Tires For 17x8 And 17x9 Rims
#3
235/45/17 is OK up front. 255/40 or 265/40 in the back will be OK as well. Go for proper fitment first. Get it right and the looks will follow. When form follows function, it winds up looking the best IMO.

What do you mean by thinner? The lower aspect ratio? If that's the case, then it's to keep the front and rear tires diameter close to each other.
I've seen 285's on the front of FD's and they didn't rub according to the owner. This was on a car built up for autoX. I forget the details of the wheel and tire combo that he used, but I do remember that he said that many people would tell him that was impossible. It's all in the wheel offset and the tire itself I guess.
