Question Tire Size

What is the widest tire that can be mounted on the stock Cobra 17" X 8" wheels? When the time comes, I want to add some more traction in the rear so I can make better use of first gear. Right now I cannot floor it in second gear at all without spinning the tires. Do you guys think 275/45ZR17s will fit? Or can I go wider? Also anyone running Nittos and if so how much $$$? I read an article about the Cooper Cobra tires and they also sound good and reasonably priced also.

Thanks!
