Why only 8 on the front? 8.5" would be better.

The popular sizes for 8.5/9.5 (18s) are:
245/40-18
275-35-18

The stock 17s are 8s. You don't want to put 245s on 8s. The 8.5s give more tread options, and fills the front wheel well better. Some are running a 9 and 10 stagger also. Never heard of an 8 and 10 stagger. Most common is 8.5 and 9.5.
