Default 17" Enkei V1 tire size ?

I bought a set of four 17" Enkei V1's used on the forum here a couple years back. The Kumho's that came on them are ready to be replaced, and for the money I think I am either going to put the Toyo T1R Proxes on, or the Falken FK452's. I would like to put the wides tire possible in the back, hopefully 275/40/17. Does anyone remember know the specs on these, or the max tire size that will fit. I cant seem to find any specs online for them. Car is in storage, so I can measure myself. Any help/experience is appreciated. Thanks as always.

I think they're a 17x9.5 if I remember right. 275/40s are the normal size used, but you can go up to a 285 max.

I was hoping that they were. Does 275/40/17's on the back and 255/40/17's on the front sound right? Or is it better to do them all 1 size?

I'd just do them all one size so you can rotate them. You won't really be gaining anything by running a smaller tire up front anyway.
