Tire size ? zr1 wheels 9.5 &11s

Just won them on ebay for just $405; man AFS is on top of the game. What tire size should I go with in the front on the 9.5 rim. IS it the 245/45/17 or 275/40/17? Im going with the 315/35/17 for the rear.
One more ? is do you guys think I should powered coat the wheels white or orange. I got a 97 30th edition.

245/45 shouldn't be used on anything wider than 9.0" 275/40 is fine.

If you want to see what a pair of 17x11's looks like painted white, with orange "SS" centers, here's a page of pictures from some wheels I sold for a friend:

30th SS 17x11

The front wheels are actually "narrowed" 17x6" 30th SS wheels, for skinnies.

Those look good. But I was just gonna coat the the five blades and leave the outter rim polished. Think that would look good on a Z.

The orange would either look 100% AWESOME or 100% HORRIBLE. (Assuming you have the stripes and all...) I would have to see it before I could make a decision. But, if you got the ***** and you think it would look good, go for it.

The white is standard, so you know how it will look.

A polished lip doesn't look bad on too many wheels, so you really can't go wrong there.
