I am running 275 Nitto Drag Radials on my stock 2001 5 spoke wheels and they look exactly the same as my front's running 245 Nitto 555's. I saw a picture of someone running 315 drag radials on stock 5 spokes, but it looked retarded. If you're going in a straight line ONLY - then feel free to do the same.
Usually the rule is 2" wider than the rim width.
So 255 is the max recommended. In fact, Ford put 255/45/17's on the 94-95 Cobras with 17x8's, but then stepped down to 245/45/17 for every other 17x8 setup.
But guys have stretched wider rubber on there. I've seen 315's on a bullitt wheel. But with the bulge you start getting sidewall flex and the car will actually rock on the sidewalls if you push it from the side.
