no, I don't think you can fit anything much taller than a 25.5"-26" tire in front without getting really precise with backspace/offset, ride height, and possible mods to the leading edge of the fender. F/M/J's were much roomier in the front in that regard. I was talking about taller options for the rear of the car to better fill out the wheelwell. 235/55R17 is about the same height as a 255/60R15 or 255/50R17...like I said, if I go 17's on mine, I'm leaning towards a 225-235/45R17 in the front, and a 255/50R17 in the back....
