A bunch of people have sevas wheels which are 10 in the back and they fit, you might have to work on rolling your fenders alil bit though.

For what it's worth, I'm running a 255/40/17 on all 4 with nearly 10" of tread width and there's tons of clearance. I would guarantee a 265 would fit with no mods and probably a 275 with a perfect offset. We're got pretty lucky with the amount of tire the TL will accept all the way around.

However, for performance I recommend going with the same width on all 4 tires. The TL already understeers. You will make it worse with narrower front tires.
