Default 295/45/17, what fronts?!

So I am putting the MT Drag Radials on my 02 Trans Am, the 295/45/17s.. But I am stuck with finding a nice front to put on it and what size to go with? I was thinking a 245/40/17 might look good, but will it look too small having that monster 28 in the back? Also don't know what brand tire will look good with the Mickey rear.
Wadaya think guys?

Ive got the same rear tires on my OEM Zr1s. I run 275/40/17 'stock' Nitto NT555, have lasted me 30k miles so far, and are just now bald. The thing is, no one cares what brand you have up front, they are just looking at the big ol tire in the back. Just get something good.

With stock rear spring with heater hose mod.. and lowered in the front.
