just got new wheels!

17x8 for the front and 17x9 for the rear. I have a question...for the front Im gonna put 245/45/17 but for the rear I was thinking 275/40/17. My question is that my car is dropped 2" ..will these wheels still fit?...And I dont want them to stick out of the fender like those old muscle car looks! I want a flush with the fender look like I have now with the 245/45/17 on all 4. Any info would be appreciated Thanks
