Question 275/40/17 rear tires. Will they fit?

I have a set of 17 inch wheels and tires. I was wondering if 275/40/17 will fit in the rear? Thanks

So Brad, do you know the actual backspacing on the front, and rear? That would be invaluable to me. If you could measure it that would be awesome. Also how much does the tire clear the trailing arm by (~1/4")? Thank you, Carl
