Front Tire size

So I just acquired a set of Speedline ZO6 wheels. They look great got them in Black. Now my question is this. Since its a 17X9.5 would a 285/40-17 be too tall of a tire or not? If any one can chime in and let me know what you guys are running, or if you have pics of your fronts on Speedlines I'd appreciate it.

the demensions you will need. Have fun.

I run a 275/40/17 (one step up from stock) on the front and they look fine. Just make sure your the overall diameter of your rear tires are taller than your fronts and you'll be good to go.
