Tire selection for a 17" wheel, will this work?

I have 17x8 stock 1994 Cobra Wheels... Will a staggered set at 285/40 and 255/45 fit on these wheels and this car which is a 1994 Cobra.

thanks for the help.

No. 285s are too big for that wheel. I have stock Cobra rims and I have 255s..I'm not sure you can go any wider.

shoving a 275 on them IS possible... will they wear properly... no

275/40/17's are too wide for an 8" rim and will wear down the middle pre-maturely... ask me how I kow.... been there, done that
