What does it take to put 17" wheels on a 50' fleetline, with a Farman ultra low mk2 2" drop spindles and bagged front and rear? What width of rim and will I have to cut inner fenders?

i have no problem with 17x8 rims all around. i'm running 245/45 tires.

my new wheels are also 17x8 but will have 235/55 tires for a little more sidewall and hopefully ride comfort(and so i don't have to shift into 3rd right before the end of the quarter mile)
