from what i have gathered from other guys i can run up to a 275 tire but it will rub when i turn the wheel....since these are goin to be put on and taken off at the track can i run a 265 without it rubbing?

with 17" DR's you're hard pressed to find a size that fits the bill. The 245/45/17 mentioned would probably be the best. 265 would work if you can find a 265 DR.
