Tires & Wheels

Im having the trouble finding a tire size for the stock 06 MR BBS wheel.
I want to have a bigger wheel than the 245/35/17 but i cant find anything on the biggest wheel that will fit without scrubing anything in the fender?
My friend has a 275/40/17 on his mustang which is a 17 by 8 wheel so i was wondering if you guys could help me out a little?? i have searched and could not find anything and all the help would be appriciated.
***The question is how big of a tire can i fit on the stock BBS 17 by 8 rim without scrubing anything in the fender or clearence problems??

On a 17x8 your tire choices are as follows:

235/45-17
245/40-17
245/45-17
255/40-17

Each has their own benefits and shortcomings in terms of weight, responsiveness, grip and gearing so determine what is most important to you and go from there.

Pick your poison
