I think in 17 inch size , 17x8 in front with 245 45 17 and 285 40 17 in back on a 9.5 or 10 wide rim 4.5 back side all around . Also , on a large B boby a 26 inch tire is a bit short and a 285 40 18 inch size in back looks nicer at 27 inches tall . 5 inch back side is usually the most back side you can use without rubbing . 4518999-reartires.JPG (142 downloads)

Why would it track bad? This A-body with 275/40/17's doesn't seem to track bad.

When you lower the car down the smaller diameter tire doesn't show as much. But a 245/45/17 is about the same diameter as a 275/40/17. But one has more footprint and grip.

There's just going to be some that you can't get around when comparing the forces the road puts on a 205/70-14 vs. a 275/40-17.
