Default What size tires to get?

Im getting some tt rims here in the next couple of weeks and wondered if someone could tell me whats the biggest size tires in the rear i can get without having to beat on any thing. Im getting 17x9.5 front and 17x10.5rear. Im wanting 275/40/17 up front. I just dnt know what size to go with in the rear. Any info will be greatly appreciated. I drive a 98 Z28 by the way.

If you run a 315 or 335 you will have to BFH it. 295 or 305 i think are the max sizes without beating anything
