Post 95 & 98 are my car then look on the last page 01SOMZ28 has the same set I sold back to him on another car.
My fronts are 17x7 I think 4.5 BS but I'm not 100% on that. But I've got 215's on the front. I don't know how wide you could go.

A 275/50/17 on a 17x7 wheel? That is way off, that tire will rub like hell on the front.
I had a 17x7 on the front and I ran a nitto nt450 225/50/17 and it was almost too tall, but I liked how the 225 width looked on that wheel though.

Call up a reputable company and tell them what you want and they should be able to set you straight. I ordered my 17x7's from Jegs, called them up and they knew what back spacing would work, they had great prices too.
