Have you checked out AmericanMuscle?

http://www.americanmuscle.com/87-93-...eels-rims.html

That's where I got mine. I'm running 17x9s and 245/45/17s all around. My front tires rub a little when the wheel is turned all the way, but it's not bad. You could probably fit some 255s up front but I wouldn't go any bigger than that though. You could fit 255s or maybe 275s on the back, but you'll have to remove the quad shocks (I did). Hope this helps.

They're the horizontal (blue) shocks in the pic. They help to prevent wheel hop (where the tires actually bounce up and down as they try to get traction) during burnouts and hard launches. Some say you need better upper and lower control arms before you remove the quad shocks (better control arms prevent wheel hop and therefore quad shocks aren't needed). I ran my car without the quad shocks and the stock control arms for over two years and had no problems.
