Default 275/40/17's ?

I am going to be getting new rims and tires for my 1990 Lx and I want to put the widest tire possible on the back with out doing any mods.
I also plan to lower the car 1/2" in the rear and 7/8" in front. Can I fit a 275 tire in the rear with that drop? What size can I fit up front?

Thanks
~Matt

will need to upgrade your lower control arms, then remove the quad shocks and you can fit the 275's in there.

most poeple run 245's in the front ok.
