Front tires (205 or 215) to match Nitto 555R Hey guys, I need some help. I'm getting new wheels soon (17" RR Bogarts), but I want to pick out the tires first so I know for sure what size wheel to get.
I'm getting Nitto drag radials for the rear in a 315/35/17 and putting that on an 11" wheel.
For the front, I want to get a 205/50/17 on a 6.5" wheel or a 215/50/17 on a 7" wheel.
Can I get some opinions on what front tires would look good (matching the Nitto rear tires) in one of those two sizes (205/50 or 215/50)?
I've searched discounttiredirect.com and tirerack.com, but I want some other opinions. I have trouble visualizing some of the tires on the car. Also, I want the tires to have decent wet traction (since they are smaller) because the car is a daily driver and I will get stuck in the rain every now and then.
Keep in mind that the Nitto 555's (normal street tire) does not come in either size (or anything skinny that would have the right profile/diameter).
Cost is not a real issue, but I want them to look halfway decent. Opinions?
Thanks!

fuzions look closer to the nitto tread pattern and are in that size. I'm going to be running these in a 275/40 17 ft and the nitto dr 315's in the back soon.
