Default Tire Sizes

Hey guys, what is the largest diameter Tire size that will fit on a stock 17" Bullit size wheel on my 2001 Mustang. Also does anyone have any pictures of thier cars from the back with wider tires on?

275/40 series tire is the largest you can run on a stock 17x8 inch rim.

245/45/17 (stock tires) have the same width diameter as 275/40/17, 25.7, so no, will not stick out pass the fender.
