Ive run 17x9s with 275/40/17s on the rear without any modifications what so ever. You may possibly, like i did at times, rub the inner fenderwell over bumps, or when you have to transverse over stuff like the initial climb into a driveway. 99% of driving will be fine. If your car is lowered, it will be a much tigther fit, but still shouldnt be uncomfortable. The biggest i can remember going on the front, without modifying suspension or fenders was a 245/45/17. Im not saying thats the biggest possible, just the biggest i can remember using. Ive seen guys stuff a 315/35/17 on the rear, on a 17x10 wheel, but that required a quad shock delete, and some finessing of the fenders...

Here is a guy who fit 315s on the back.

Well just last weekend I finished installing a 5 lug conversion/brake upgrade with 13 inch rotors. stainless braided hoses, and dual piston calipers. I went with 17x8 wheels up front with a 235/40/17 tire. The front suspension consists of sportlines springs with the lower isolater removed, steeda X2 ball joints, 96+ spindle, bump steer kit, strange adjustable struts. The rears I went with 17x10.5's with a nitto 315 DR which runs narrower than most tire brands out and is more like a 295 size. I did use a 3/8 inch spacer so the tires could be flush with the fenders. And yes I did beat in the inner fenders with a BFH, rolled the fenders, axles are stock fox length. Here are some pics, tell me what you think...
