You do not want to put a car tire on the front. Double darkside refers to putting a rear motorcycle tire on the front. There are a lot of choices for that.

I have never looked for a wide white wall tire, but I remember some one here did. Maybe they will chime in.

Think you need to decide if you want to go with white walls or not.
if yes, I believe you need to go with a 140, no 150/80/17 in white wall
as far as I know.
Good luck, let us know and post some pics.
