Anyone here running these 17" Deep Dish rims?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=290139605166

What 17" size tires look the best with these rims?
I want to fill the fender wells without having to lower car and without any rubbing.
I don't care if the backs stick out a little.
Rims are already ordered and on their way to my home.
Any pics would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I know a few running deep dish. I run 17's with 28 inch tires. the 28 inch tire gives the car a slightly lowered look without droping it.

Email them and ask what the offset is. They are notorious for selling rims with the wrong offset for the S197s. (unless your ok with the tires outside the wheel opening)

They already told me that the back rims would stick out, that's ok with me.

I am thinking of using 17x255x50 on the front and 17x275x50 on the back.
Anyone see any problems with that? Is that going to fill out the fenderwells?
TIA

I run 17x9's all the way around, with 255/50/17's up front, and 275/50/17's in the back with no issues.
