I've got 17x9's with 245/45/17 on the front and 275/40/17 on the back with sn95 axles. The front rubs slightly (I should have gotten 245/40 on the front) at a full lock on the inside, and as for the back- just as long as you have stock-length axles you should be cool. I have H&R SS lowering springs (1.25" lower infront)
