When I had my 17's, which by the way I have found out to be a bad idea for handling reasons, I had 34 in the front and 30 in the rear.

If you drive any faster than 40 mph, then the outsides will wear very quickly anyway. The sidewalls have less flex so the tread will take more of a battering.

IIf it were me, i'd put 30/32 in the front and 28/30 in the rear.
