Tire help!

Hey guys - it is the age old question that so many ask.

What tire brand are you guys running on a 17"? I want to run 17's on all 4 corners with a taller rear tire, but cannot find a size that will work. I ordered my rear wheels today at 10" wide with the right backspace, but went to find a tire about 295/50 (28-29") tall and I am striking out.

Once I find the rear, assuming I can stay with a 17, I need to make sure the same tread pattern is available for about a 255/50 (27") tall front.

I know I can adjust the suspension to fit the size, but really want the old school look of a 17".

Any help is appreciated

Re: Tire help!

Even though nobody has responded yet, I did some more checking and am going with a staggered 17/18 and found a Nitto555 tire that will give me the dimensions I am looking for.
