Default 17/10.5 and 17/9 Tires sizes?

I have 03/04 cobra 17/10.5 rims in back and 17/9's up front. I think I can get 315-35-17 for the back and 275-45-17 for the front. will those work? If not what size should I go with?

I'd back the front tires down to a 245, without some modifying those 275 would have some serious rub. And those 315's would be borderline, 305's would probably be better. Good luck with either way you go.

If I went with the 245-45-17 and 305-35-17 could I lower the car about an inch and still be alright on clearance?
