I do not know about 275's but my 255/45/17's have no issues.

275 is the tread width, not the sidewall. the biggest tire you will be able to fit under there comfortably is 26 inch tire.

as far as like a regular radial tire, 315/30/18 is prob the max.

hmmm why a 26? do you see the wheel gap on our cars? i measured and from the top of my 275/40/17 i have 3 and 3/4 inches of gap that is a freakin huge gap....i want to lower my car but i have to keep in mind longtube headers... so i will be lowering 1.6 front 1.5 back..... that will still leave a 2 inch gap how is it not possible to increase the tire size from 26" to 27 inch? so that i only have 1" gap? my handheld tuner can adjust the computer so that it believes the stock tire diameter is 27"

I dont think its a matter of the wheels gap measurement... it the measurement from front to rear of the wheel well... here is a pic of what i am talking about...

ahhh good point i will check that out...but keep in mind that 27" is only half an inch on both sides

also is your car lowered? what springs you use?

thats not my car [:@]
i should have disclaimed that... i think its Dan04cobra's old car... i could be wrong..

I still cannot imagine that even adding an inch to both sides would fill up the enormous gap. The reason I ask is that I found some 275/55/17 that i am considering purchaseing.
