I'm running 17x9 wheels with 275's in the front with 17x10 and 335's - Michelin Pilots all around. With the shocks set soft, an a hard launch, the tires will slightly rub the top of the fenderwells due to wheel hop. Shocks set hard, they're fine. On the front, they'll rub in the inner frame on a full wheel turn. 75% wheel turn and you're fine. The 335's on the rear hook up a TON better than the previous 295's I had. The thing turns like it's on rails!
I switched from 15's and I'll never go back. The 15's rode bouncy while the 17's are firm, but tolerable. On good roads, the 17's really come into their own. Good luck with your search.
