275/40's will probably be Ok on the rear, but may hit on the front as they will stick out a bit. I prefer a little more BS (appox 5.5", depending on wheel brand) instead.

You may want to try a 245/45 for the front. Same height but a little narrower.

yeah I actually tried the wheel on the front and had a inch away from the wheel and tie rod and 3/4 of a inch from the strut its pretty close but I cant complain I got a good deal on them. But I ve talk to my uncle he said id probley be best with a 265/45 on the back and a 255/45 on the front if they make those sizes. I wish I could find some good pictures of some

I've actually asked BFGoodrich to release some 275/45R17 Radial T/A tires. They asked me what the market was. I sent back a list of everything they should fit, and they said they'd forward my proposal tho the manager of marketing, North America. That was Friday.

I run 275/40s front, 5" bs & zero rub issues. Ball joint to rim edge clearance, at stock height, was VERY minimal. But they are under the fenders & never rubs anywhere.
