front rim 3.00 or 3.50?

Hi there, Merry Christmas everyone! :)

I have decided to build the 17" supermoto wheels. On the original hubs. Managed to get another front wheel so will start with front one. I will call Central Wheel Components on Monday for a front rim. But what size? 17 x 3.00 or 3.50? I planning to get a cheaper SM Pro rim. I have read loads on Motards forum section and I know either size will work. I know that wider rim will be a bit slower to turn. Any supermoto riders who knows the difference? What would you put? I am planning to go with 4.25 rear rim. Any other recommendations and tips? Thanks in advance!

P.S. Anyone selling CRM/XR rear wheel? front wheel spacer tube and speedo ring, big disk and caliper bracket?
