I put on oem 2003 Cobra Rims 17X9, i thought it was the tires so i bought new tires 245/45 and they still rub so I am wondering if I have to change something so that I can put the 275/45's on it and upgrade my rears to 315's please can anyone help me?? I asked a mechanic and their dumb asses said the rims were too wide when that is obviously not the case or is it?

it is a 10.5, but in you can fit any wheel with the right backspace. to keep the wheels tucked in the fenders, on a new edge, you can go 18x10 on all 4 corners with a 295mm tire without rubbing

so you can shove 315s on a 9in wide rim?
i thought that was the biggest you could go on a 10.5
