You could run 275/40 but that will raise your final-drive ratio and increase speedo error -- as well as jack up the rear of your car by almost 3/4". A 265/40 would have less negative effects and not give up much tread width. Unfortunately, no one makes a 285/35 17 which would be perfect for that rim size.

What are your front tires/wheel sizes?

Yup and if that size isn't offered in the tire you choose then the 265/40 will have to do. 255 has a crazy nice stretch over a 10" wheel.
