You can squeeze a 275 on there but the place that mounts them might complain and curse you.

There are people on here that have it done but its supposedly not easy to mount em.

ahhh 275s are not that hard to mount. Its more the profile of a tire you have to worry about when mounting....the lower the profile the harder it is to lip the tires over the rims

I was advised to only use Nitto's275's with a 17x8. They are a little narrower
