The wheel offset is going to make a difference also...

17x10 will be fine. But u might have 2 throw on a 275 tire. A 285 should be ok but different brand tires of the same size tend to fit the rim differently. If ur gonna run a 285 then don't get a michelin or a goodyear tire since they tend to fit wider than a BF goodrich (maybe), Sumitomo or Nitto of the same size.
