Reply to "Seeking tire recommendations for a 16x8 and 17x11 wheel set."

Front: Pirelli P Zero Rosso 245/45ZR16 (24.68 diameter)
Rear: Pirelli P Zero System 335/35ZR17 (26.23 diameter)
Δ diameter = 1.55 inches

The difference in front to rear tire diameter is a little less than ideal but the best you can do with 16 inch front wheels.

My Pantera was equipped with 315/35ZR17 rear tires when I purchased it. I felt the tires (25.68 inches diameter) were too small in diameter for the rear fender openings, which had originally been designed for tires which were 26.85 inches diameter. The 335/35ZR17 tire is obviously larger in diameter than the 315/35ZR17 tire, and although less than 26.85 inches diameter, it fills the fender openings better than the smaller diameter 315mm tire.
