You'll need 275-50-15 tires to match the diameter of the stock 245-45-17 tires. Here's a tire calculator for you to save to your favorites.

It really depends what you're trying to do. For looks or for traction (drag). What have you done to the motor? If close to stock, 275/60 might be too much tire.

If you have no idea what you want the tire to do then just slap on some 26" tall 275 wide Nitto 555Rs on there and call it a day.
