corvette rims. What size tires?

I am getting the wide spoke corvette rims and was wondering what the widest tire I could fit on the back with out any modding. I don't want to have to do anything to the fenders. Also what size would you suggest to run up front. And it will be 17's in the front and 18's in the rear. Anybody else with this combo what are you guys running? I was thinking maybe a 255/40/17 up front and a 285/35/18 in the rear. Thanks.

i got 275/40/18's. I had to pound this little raised portion in the inner fenderwell down. You will see once you put the tire on it is the only close part. The car wouldn't rub unless i took a corner pretty fast but i felt i should add some clearance anyways.
