The rim will stick out a tiny bit and you'll have zero rim protection. Other than that it will fit fine.

Itl fit but look funny. I have 265s on my 18x9 FR500s and they look too skinny on the wheels.

Correct, but I hate how the 275/40's look on the front of my SN95. They look like they stick out in the front more than the rear with a 315/35 on a 17X10.5 wheel. I think a 245/45 will fit just fine & look good too.....
