Default 255/?/17 front and 275/?/17

I picked up a new set of wheels. Nonstaggered 17x9 +54. I have rolled and pulled fenders and camber around -2.5 front and -3 ish in the rear.

I would like to fill up as much space as I can to fill the gap between the tire and fender. (Making it flush)

I'm looking into Falken Azenis 255/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear. Although, I know this size will affect the speedmeter because of the change in diameter compared to stock. I tried looking for 275/35/17 but no luck.

What tire size can I use to run this set up and who makes the tires?

Thanks,
Jet

Run 255/40/17 all around.

That was my original plan. But since my rear quarters are rolled and pulled, I have a feeling it will not sit flush.

My Emotions had a more "aggressive" size/offest at 17x9 +44 with a 245 tire. I was able to stick my finger between the tire and fender so I have a lot of room.

If I can't find a 275 or even a 265 tire, I may have to add more positive camber to take up the room.

How about if I run 265/40/17 rear and 255/40/17 front, will the rear size still sit higher than stock?

I plan on purchasing the tires within a week. So can anyone please give me more feedback.

ya the rear will sit about .3" higher than the front if you do 265/40 and 255/40.
