17/255 in the rear would suit you best. I have 275s on my rear, you just have to remove the quad shock to fit the 275's. Takes all of 5 mins, its 2 bolts. These are on my 8.5 inch rear rims.

17" by ?

If it's a 17x8 I would stick to 245/45R17's, if it's a 17x9, 275/40R17 in the rear and 255/40R17 in front.
