it is going to be close. it will come down to the backspacing.

It depends on the make of the tire. Some 275s are more square shaped, and some of more rounded off. For example Nittos are more rounded, so they work fine.

if you are on coils you are definitely going to need a spacer up front. trial and error is what it is all about right?
