Well i need 2 new tires. But im thinking about getting a different size for the fronts because these are the only ones i need to replace right now.
Right now I have 205/40/17s all around:
Im trying to decide if it will look ok if i get

215/45/17s for the front

and the 205/40/17s still in the rear

How will this look? or should i find 215/40/17s

I might even go with some ventus by hankook for the fronts and change the rears later (much later?)
that ghetto to get two dif kinds of tires

i would suggest that you just buy a set and keep the 'good' ones for spares or sell them, but then you do what you have to...i wouldnt mix myself

im running 205/45 right now and on the next set i will be running 215/40

i forgot to tell you that all of the shops that i know of will insist that the new tires be mounted on the rear...

IMO, that would look retarded.

215-40 so the profile of the tires won't look so noticably different. The only bad thing is there aren't many tires that come in 215-40. Are you going to run different tires than the rear?

i'd do small on the front, bigger in the bak then ur car sits unevenly, thats hot

It's functional - if your car is rear wheel drive. Otherwise, doing the opposite (bigger in the front, smaller in the rear) works for FWD.

then the car sits weird, front higher than the back, i guess for FWD we cant do it

Ah yeah, when the car sits on springs it is uneven... I keep forgetting that cuz I'm on coilovers but I see what you mean.
