What is the best size combo for 17x8 rims.
Looking for a bit more tire than stock, and it is about that time to buy some new ones.
Will 275's fit? let me know what you think?

They fit ... but I've never seen 275s on an 8" that didn't have to curve back around to fit under the lip of the rim. And that curving effect creates a smaller contact patch with the ground -- leaving a 275 less effective than a 245, which will be flat against the ground all the way across ....
