I have a one finger gap with my 255's in the rear so 275 is going to be really bad. You may have to get new tires that are smaller or roll your fenders.

I'm on 275s on 19 inch wheels with a 38 offset, I am not lowered at all and when i first got the tires they rubbed a little over some bumps.... with stiffer spring rate I don't think that I would have rubbed at all...
the 275s cover the edge of my wheels better, I am also in an AWD so I had to match size with the front...

275 is a lil too wide, a 255 or 265 would be perfect

what tire brand? not all tire sizing is equal. for example a 275 toyo may run a smaller sidewall than a 275 nitto.

the best way to determine is to "simulate" the car being lowered, either by jacking the wheel upwards toward the fender, or get your heavy-set friends to help in the back seat .

Agreed I ran a 265/30/20 on my very first set of Work Wheels and it rubbed and I been running 255/30/20 on my last 2 Vossen wheels with no rub
