275 is big bro... most of the s2k owners (even with rolled and pulled fenders) usually run 255 at max..
if you have 10mms to play with in the front, why not go with a lower offset?

well, i'm running 9.5 with 255 in the back lowered about an inch and i rub on the freeway.. my fenders are rolled and flared and I still rub on the bumper tab when i hit fat bumps or dips...

I have an offset of +38 though... you might be ok...

you should be fine, also depends on what tires you fit on them, some run larger than others.

and yes a agree with lewiS2K a 275 is pretty hefty, haha expect to pay alot for tire sizing...

A 275 will fit with your wheel size, but you will have huge understeer with that setup.

not to mention if you launch on grippy tires (large contact patch) it'll bite your diff pretty hard

are you dumped? do u want to keep it staggered? i'm running 17x9 +45's with 245/40's all the way around. i'm running the seibon fenders and my rears are rolled and the tab was relocated. no rubbing issues, the only the thing that rubs is the j's diffuser, but that thing hits the floor.

Aren't tire options pretty limited on a 275 for 17"?
