Default Wider tires!!!!

Can anyone tell me what offset wheel I need to put wider tires on my 92 notchback. I have 255/40/17's on cobra wheels but really would like to run either a 275 or maybe a 305. The 8.8 rear end is stock other than 4.10's, and she has tokiko springs and shocks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

i'm not sure the offset numbers' on a fox. however, call discount tires their tech are pretty helpful and they will get you right.
