Agree with kissmywhitess that's the exact same setup I got. it's 275/40/17 though think you entered it wrong

275/40-17 and 315/35-17.

Both aspect ratios were off in the above post. You won't find a 315/40-17 I don't believe.

Those are 26" tall tires. Same as stock (if you have a WS6 or SS, they came with 275/40-17s).

Will there have to be any fender modification if I use those wheels and tires?

I had to roll the rear fenders nothing crazy actually pretty easy. Also you might want to look into a adj panhard bar just ask if you have any questions since i just did it so it's still in my head

At a minimum a 285/40/17, but a 315/35/17 will be better.

I have those wheels and the sizes recommended above fit perfectly. A 315/35 Nitto 555R fits perfect, is stickier than a street radial, and has decent tread wear.

Put the 315s on the rear, they look and work very well.

I wouldn't do 275/40/17 on a 10.5 tire it's to wide. 315 is the way to go nitto 555 is what I'm using also in the rear I believe it's like $205 a tire which ain't bad I'd say
