the 70 Satellite wheel well openings are huge.
My rears are 17" tires are 275-60-17 and measure at 29.98. Sadly these are no longer available, so no more burnouts for me.
Increasing the wheel diameter is fine when increasing the sidewall to match.
Ultimately its your car. Screw it if the rest don't like it.
