Yes, do 255/50 17's up front. A friend has 255/45 17's up front, with 275/50 17's out back and it just doesn't look right. (Of course, he's dropped 6/4)

Im running 255/60/17's on all 4 corners on my 17x9's with a 3/5 drop. I wanted a taller sidewall because I drive mine 100miles a day and wanted to keep a smooth ride. With a 5/7 though your gonna probably need a 50 series though to tuck in front.
