Tire question

Im going for kind of a staggered look i guess you could say. Im workin with what i have so here it is. I have 17 x 9.5 eagle alloys all the way around. I have 275 40 17's in the rear and i was just wondering if anyone new what the smallest size tire i could fit on them on the front would be. Thanks

I suspect you want narrower tire in the front, and well the closest I could come up with is 235/45/17s.

Although that's similar to what I have on my car and I wouldn't say they look staggered. My Car with 18s

Basically the more I think about it the cars that have the staggerrd look have different Wheels front and back. Usually it's larger rears, but sometimes I have seen same size, and much deeper offset on the rear.

So I would officially call this 'Busted' and say just go with the 275/40/17s all the way around. I think it will look better
