Default What tire for 17x7 Weld RTS S71

I ordered some front runners today thinking I could run a M/H 185/55/17 tire but now I am seeing that 5" is the maximum and minimum width recommended. I ordered the 17x7 because I want to be able to drive it to and from the track (50-100 miles away). What is my best option for a front runner and still keep weight down as much as possible? M/H 26x8.5x17?

205/50-17 would be the correct diameter and still fit those wheels

Your car looks great! Are those 17x5 up front? Can you please get a weight of that combo? I'm ordering that tire today and playing the waiting game on the wheels
