I have that size in back and i know they will fit with no problem. As for the front, im not sure, IT will be close. Depends on suspension i guess? 
Hope that helped a bit. Good luck!

The rims will rub the lower control arms when you turn the wheel to full lock. Other than that, they should fit just fine.
I just got Cobra R's from AFS. I got 17x8 front and 17x9 rear, both with 255/40's.
Now the fronts rub the front of the wheel well really bad at full lock, I'm gonna have to do some cutting of the plastic splash guard & ground effect. What else can i do? Will the rack limiter resolve this, or is that solution only for rubbing the control arm? It doesn't rub the arm, prob. because i got 17x8 instead of 17x9.
Stock susp.
In the rear, the quads rub the tire, so I'm gonna have to invert, or replace the lowers and remove the quads. What a f'n project this has become.
