my back tires are going bald and i want to get 2 new for the back. fronts still have plenty so i just need 2. (front and back are different sizes so i cant rotate them.) they are aftermarket wheels, they are 17"x8, and the current size on the back is 235/45/r17 and they look a little small (there seems to be plenty of room in the wheel well for larger tires). i just need to know what all sizes will fit that rim. theres some nice drag radials on craigslist that are 255/50/r17. any info would be appreciated.

I have 275/45/17's on mine, But I have an SVO brakes and axles on the rear and my rims sit out a little farther. When I had ranger axles they still fit, but on off camber turns they would hit the inners.
