Check the sticky about the tire sizes https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/120716-wheels-tires-everything-you-should-need-know-here-must-read.html I was looking into those wheels I am pretty sure you can get 18 x 9.5's for the back. With the 9.5 inch back wheel you can fit a 275 width tire with the 8.5 inch wides can only fit like a 255. I am sure if you contact those people on ebay they can get you the 9.5's for the back.

8.5 too small, they probably only offer that size.

YngBird- Please post thse. I'm really interested!

So for the front rims if i got the 17 inch could i still use my other tires. my tires i have now are 245/45. Would the 45 instead of the 40 really matter??

The 45 or 40 is referring to the tire profile. It's a percentage of the tire width, so smaller the number usually means a lower profile tire. It won't affect fit, the 40 will just have a slightly lower profile than the 45

I have the sterling 18x8.5 on mine and the last three tires have been 275/35 on the back and 265/35 on the fronts. They fit just fine.
