Default Widest Tires on a 17" Stock R/T Rim??

I was looking around and the widest i could find was 295/40/17... will this tire sive fit on a stock 17" R/T Rim?

Also if i do this all 4 corners will i rub in the front if i drop 1-2in.

All im looking to do is to get more grip on a dip. I got 255/55/17 right now and when i take off its like im sitting in water.

Maybe 275/40/17 in the front and 295/40/17 in the rear with a 2in drop?

Lower the rear pressure a couple psi. Or learn to feather the throttle better. 295 definately wont fit. 275 would be pushing the limits of the rim (assuming 8.5" wide).

i have no idea if she works or not, mut she msged me saying she was going to the mall..

and yes once i get my computer flashed, wider tires, and my 55mm TB i should be running not to lean and not to ruch just perfect. That injection kit it has on it doesnt work well with a stock TB.. o ya im also thinking about moding that ram air tube i got coming from my hood, make it look like a vase and then have a chrome heat wrapped intake with a custom chrome shoe over the tb, and a bigger filtber box with a bigger and bader k&N filter.
