I think somebody was asking about 285/40s awhile back.
I am playing around with my corvette wheels and came up with this.
Frame clearance on the inside at the closest point is 1/4"
Offset on the wheels with the 2" spacers is 1/4" negative.
So basically the wheels are 17x9.5 with 1/4" negative offset.
Also, I have aluminum drums.

I just got my 285/40-17's mounted on the 9.5" wheels and they fit great on the Monte. 4.5" bs and I have about 3/8" space before the frame.

Also, some tires will run wider than others in that same size. I went with Nitto 555's.

I can't wait to get some lower springs back there and the front all done!
