tirerack recomends 255/40/17 on those rims the shelby ones

would this work

285/40/ 17x9 rear
245/45/ 17x9 front

they have some
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW

Size: 285/40ZR17

or will this not work ?

245/45/17 up fron and 275/45/17 in rear. you will be happy with em. and the bfgoodrich kdw is a good wet/dry tire too.

( i am new to this )
