Does anybody know what the largest size tire is that fits in the rear of a teener with factory flares, without having to make complicated modifications to the flares?

265, 275, 285? Who bids higher ...

I will buy either 5 lug 17x9 or 17x10 rims depending on what size tire fits. Since these things cost $$$$$$$$$ I don't want to make a mistake.

Thanks,
Johan
