Tires for 17 inch wheels

[rebootej]

Hi guys Ive got a set of 17 inch year one rallyes coming for my 74 satellite sebring and i was wondering what size and what brand tires guys like to run on their 17 inch wheels. I'm definitely trying to fit as large a tire under my car as i can without rubbing. Any tips? Oh one more thing my car has a C-Body 8 3/4 rear end so it is about 1.5 inches wider overall than a normal B-Body axel. Thanks for any help. There are just so many options it is a little overwhelming.

Pics would be greatly appreciated too!

Thanks guys! I got the staggered size wheels 17x8 in front and 17x9 in the rear. Currently running the BF Goodrich TA radials really like them I'll have to check out those g force benno. Thanks 5.7 what are you running on the front? I've had a 275/40R15 on the car before but it was barely to wide. But also also need to compare the offset from these wheels to the current 15 " rallyes I have.
