As far as I know, the only way to do this is by pretty significant fender modification and large wheel offset. It is questionable weather 10mm on the rears is going to give you what you are looking for. Hope that helps you. I am very glad that you keep on probing the limits of our car, it is good to hear that someone is seeing what these can do.

Dragon: The answer is - it depends. Mainly on the tire maker. Not all 275s are made the same, some are narrower than others.
I am running 265/35ZR18s Dunlop Super Race and they are as wide as most 275s. Rear fender had to be pulled and rear lip trimmed. Only once in a while, llike going over railroad tracks, the rear will rub slightly. Forget about rear passengers though.
