Default Help, need tires for skinny 17inch wheel

I've been thinking of getting my front WS6 wheels narrowed to compliment the widened rear wheels. I need to figure out how much I want to narrow them and what tires I can run. I would like to run a radial tire on the front.

I know with a 17x4.5 I can run a Hoosier 26x7.5. The Hoosiers are ~$180 a piece and I was looking to run something cheaper. I've also seen a 17x6 with a 205/50/17, but that is a 25" tall tire.

Are there any 26" tall tires that will fit on 17x4.5 or a 17x6? For you guys with 17" skinnies could you post some pictures along with your size tire and wheel?

I run the radial tire (185/55/r17 MNH-ROD11R) on my 17x4s and love them. And they are only 155.00 ea.
