It should clear. You could even go wider, but you would need to go deeper backspace. I've seen alot of 10" rims, but with 5.5" backspace, and sometimes maybe a 3/8" spacer to kick it back out from the suspension. You may have to take a BFH to the seatbelt hump too though.

If you plug the data into the tire calculator, and scroll all the way to the bottom it tells you that it will fit. I'm sure it will. It really isn't much bigger than what we currently have stock.

315/35r17 and for the front a 255 but I'm not sure on the profile. Its close, but I've seen it done and have done my home work. The wheel is right under the lip and the seat belt hump needs the heat and beat.
