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!

I want to put some Tein S lowering springs on my Z, however, the specification says they lower the car 10mm at the front, and 5mm at the rear.
If though, my 17 year old springs have sagged, the tein springs may not make any visible differance.
The only way I can think to check this before I buy is to find out either;
a: the distance between the centre of hub and the centre/top of arch on stock Z springs
b: or, the distance between the centre of hub and the centre/top of arch on tein S springs
Thanks for your help guys, Dan
