I realize I may have to go to a 235/45 in front, but they may look small on the rear and if I stagger the rear to say a 255/40, it may look weird with the same size rim face. Any opinions or pictures?

Maybe choose a wheel that offers the right offset to get what you really want? I know you like those wheels, but it seems like you're going to end up with a combo that you won't be happy with, because those wheels do not have the ideal offsets to get the larger tires you want. The 275/40 and 245/45 front tire combo has been used on many of these cars, and really fills up the fenderwells and looks great on a lowered car. It just requires a 17X9.5 with 5.5" bs and a 17X8 up front with 4.75-5" bs.
