And that his FD has a custom set of rear toe links that were required so the inside edges of those tires didn't touch anything...

275 picture
I managed to dig up a crappy old picture of my car with 275/40/17's. I forget what the offset is. You can kind of see how wide it was. That is a VERY tight fit. I got 255's later to replace them.

you can, but it will be very oversquare. A 245 is the biggest i would go on an 8. You need a wider rim. Sorry for not responding yesterday.

Ok, I found a rim that is identical to what I have (that way, I only have to replace the rears), but they are 17x9, as opposed to 17x8. The kicker is, they only have +30mm offset instead of the standard +40mm offset. I've seen people posting on here that they have a +32 offset, but will a +30 make THAT much more of a difference? I'd like to put AT LEAST a 255 on the back, preferably a 275. Nitto recommends a 9.5" tire for a 275, but it says that a 9" will work....
The million dollar questions: Will the 30mm offset work on my car?
Thanks again for everyones help.

Yes, it will work just fine. In fact, I think it looks much better as it puts the outside edge of the rim closer tto the wheel well so it doesn't have that sunk in look like stock.
