I am going to need to get new tires. What is the biggest tire size I could fit in the rear. Currently I am running 245/45/17 all around. I want to get that aggressive look with the wide tires on the rear. They will be going on 17in Cobra's...Thanks in advance...

Do you have spacers on your car? that looks a bit weird.
