You "could" do it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't think it fits. I tried a 275 on a mustang wheel, which have an offset thats really damn close to the suspension (about .25" in front) and the tire was sticking out way to far.

I dont know if you can offset the wheel so its farther in; i was already hitting the heat shields for the mufflers....

I have 17x9 wheels in the rear, on 255/40 R17 Kumho Ecsta MX's. Here is a rear shot:







Seems to me 275 would be a bit too wide (plus it's more expensive...)
