Widest its made for is 255/45/17.. No point in buying the same size wheel that limits your tire width. Go with 17x9 replicas from http://www.wheelreplicas.com/bullitt.htm
Then you can go 275/40/17 in back or 285/40/17.. then 265/40/17 in front or use your stock size for the front.

I got the 17x9 from AFSwheels.com with 255/45/17 tires for under $1200 with the lugs. Click here for a photo of them on my yellow GT, there on pg 2.

I dont want to purchase replicas for the following two reasons. I would prefer to have authentic ford wheels and I dont like the snake on the AFS wheels. I dont have a cobra, so I dont think that looks right on my car.

Does anyone know if ford makes a bigger size black bullitt?
I dont think they do, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
