Pics of 205 front and 315 rear? Hey guys, looking into getting some 17X8 and 17X10. Looking at some 205's for the front and some 315's in the rear. Just wondering if anyone has any pics of a combo close to this so I can see what it looks like. I know most guys will tell me to go with a 245 or 255 front but I'd like something a bit smaller and lighter without having to go with skinnies. I've already checked the manufacturers recommendations and they said that 205/40/17's would fit. It'll help lower the front just a bit and give me a nice stance too.

I think you should really consider 17x11s for the 315s. I also would go with a 7-7.5" rim for a front tire that narrow. It would be a lighter rim and the tire sidewall would be more vertical.
I have not seen that combo floating around the boards here. Most people go with a 245 up front cuz that's what the Z-28s came with. I see the occasional 235, but have never seen a 205.

Well I wanted to go with 11's out back but I can get the 10's for half price of the 11's and I'm going with a Nitto DR and the Nittos run a bit small so I didn't think that it'd be a problem. I might go a bit bigger on the fronts but wanted to keep them as small as I could. The only chioces I had on the rims were between 8"-10" wide, that's why I decided to go with a 8" and 10". I'd go with a 7" rim but I'd have to special order them too. I might just decide to go with a size or two bigger but even stepping up to a 245 or 255 in the front would put another 10-15lbs of weight on.
