What Tires do I order

I have pretty much picked out the brand and type of tire I want for the 79 C10. I only need the front tires. I have 17 inch wheels. 17X9

I am running 345/40/17 toyo drag radials in the rear and I want a good combo for the front
The truck currently has 235/45/17 on some 17X8 wheels. It looks terrible to me. Its mostly the sidewall height that has me wondering what tire to get. I was thinking of a 245/45/17 but I am not convinced that it will be tall enough. We are going for a fat/skinny type of look but we are going to have at least a 235 or 245 front tire cause the rears are so big.
BTW I am wanting the correct size in BFG g force KDW

a 235/55 would be a little over 27" tall
