Default Tires size front and back for 03 cobra

Taking the car to California Speed Way. Its a 03 cobra with stock wheels. I am getting the Toyo 888R tire. Can anyone give me an idea of how big I can go?
I was thinking 255 in the front, 275 in the rear will this clear?

I plan on using these wheels on a few of my cars the 94 gt and the 98 cobra. The wheels will be 03 oem svt wheels.Will 315s toyo s 888r s fit on the rims, and on the other cars?
Or should I just order 255/ 285

The 315 toyo's will NOT fit on the stock rim, only nittos will. Buy yourself some 17x10.5 rims for the back from either AM or Lethal and then your Toyo's will fit.

out of money and time. I have a extra set of stock oem 03 cobra wheels. What is the way to go here? How big can I go on the back with the stock wheels? And on the front also.
275 in front or 255?
