Looking to pick up a set off of someone local, just wondering how wide I can go without the tires folding.

i'm not sure on the 17's but I think 245 is to wide on the front without some rubbing. I know a 235 will work.

If your talking about the stock 17x8 all around wheels, 275/40 in the back is too big to mount.

On an 8.0 rim width, you want 215/225/235 width tires.
