I have some after market wheels on my Zed and all the tyres have perished so before it goes for its MOT at the end of the month im looking for new tyres.
The wheels are 17" and are staggered, with a 9.5j at the rear and 8j at the front.
The current tyres on the rear are 255/40/17 and a 235/40/17 on the front.
Now ive only been able to find one tyre at 235/40/17 so I want to change so I can get a decent brand, but which way do I go.
I dont want stretched look, I want a nice flat side wall look so thinking of a 245, but would this be too chunky.
The other question is if I go up a size on the front, should I also then go up on the back? Or will it not matter?
Any help would be gratefully received!

Just swapped my old cracked bumpers for newly painted ones today.
Bit of trepidation due to long and detailed idiots guides that I've read.
However, it all went well. The rear took longer due to the boot being dismantled to get all the nuts.
One thing - after the car was bolted back together - we found a piece of moulded polystyrene that fell out of the old front bumper - we left it out.
It looked like it was shaped for a reason but couldn't work out it's usefulness so it stayed out!!
Any obs?
