Actually, the size would be 275/40/17. You could go with 285/40's on a 9" or 9.5" rim, but they'll bulge out a little more and are a little taller than the 275/40's. I know Andris Skulte had/has 275/40's up front on 17X9.5" ZR1 wheels and 315/35's in back on 17X11" ZR1 wheels using VetteBrakes spacers. Looks really cool! 
They just about line up with the edges of the fenders, maybe a little on the outside in back.
