Default Tire question/opinion needed

I need to replace the F1 runflats on my new-to-me 08 MZ6.... I am torn about replacing them. I COULD get TSW nurburgring wheels and fit 325 Invos rear with 275 fronts.... or I can get original equipment sizes and get my ARH 1 7/8 catted header kit plus a Corsa Z06 axle back. Decisions decisions. Here are some tire options:

or

or maybe go up a bit on stock wheels????
front- http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....10XL&tab=Sizes
rear- http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....10XL&tab=Sizes

I am thinking I will just replace the fronts with the continental DW in factory size. The rears were put on only 2 k miles ago... having rear f1 runflats with DWs in the front won't throw any electronics or handling off right?

Dad decided to just buy me some Goodyear GS2s in OEM sizes for the front as an early birthday gift and so I don't have to worry about it when I get home from deployment. Ha... operation full exhaust is a go.
