bought wheels need tires

i bought 03/04 cobra wheels for my 04 V6 and was wondering what tires i can run with out rubbing on a 1.5" drop. i was thinking 265/40/17 up front and 275 or 285/35/17 out back. let me know what you guys think.

i know this is what the cobra uses but i was worried about rubbing issues on the V6. handling would be better too i suppose.

i run a 315/35 17" on the rear of mine and 275's in the front. The v6 and v8 cars still have the same dimensions so it dosnt matter. btw i have a 2" drop all around also..

I also rcmnd using the same tire size so that you can rotate them and get the most use.

andysperformance- can you send me some more pics of your car? i wanted to run 315/35 out back but i heard handling goes way down. i do like the idea of being able to rotate them.
