You really have to play with offsets to get bigger meats in there but on his Malibu wagon at stock ride height Tony has a 285-40-17 out back with the same wheels I have, 17x9.5 w/5.5" bs. He used 1" spacers to keep them away from the frame rails. Right now with no spacers my 275s are touching the frame, but I have nearly 1.5" I can push them outward if I roll the wheel opening lip. Most guys say 275 is the safe wide tire. Lots of GN Regals run 26x10.50x15 or 26X11.50 slicks. I found 2 folks that have 315-30-17's out back and they had to notch the frame. I will be notching the frame for future changes. Hope that helps.
