Cool, hopefully I'll have sold my ZO6s by the time the 17x4s are ready 
M&H and Hoosier both make tires to fit 17x4s. IMO the M&Hs look better, and are cheaper at about $135 per tire as opposed to the Hoosiers for about $162 each.

A 215/50R17 is a little taller, 25.5" tall to be exact, and they are only 30 bucks more a tires. AND they will fill out a 7in rim a lot better than a 205/50R17
If I do go through with this, I am going to get a set of 17x7 with 215/50R17's, 17x11's with 315/35R17's and some 15x10's with 28x13.50R15 for the track.
I just think it would be cool to have matching street and strip rims.

Sry for the dumb question but wouldn't having a 205 or 215 size tire up front lower handling? Such as taking a turn fast with smaller tires up front compared to the normal 245s or 275s, wouldn't there be less grip on the front of the car and more likely to loose it up front somehow? Just asking
