in this case, wider is better. go with what your wallet can afford, but the 275 is better. I could spin my old245 without even trying.

I wanted to know ifi should get 275/40/17 or 245/45/17 nitto555. I was going get 275s in back and 245 in front. Are the 275 worth the extra $85 Or should I getfour 245s
Go with the 275's with a stock width wheel, or if you have 10.5's, go with the 315's. If you put the 315's on a stock wheel, you will get that wavy feel when you go around curves....

your post only asks about 275's but I would consider at "least" the 275 and yes they're worth it.
275's in the front 315's in the back

^agreed also, you wont have a tire lip to help protect the rim. It'll look like your rollin Ghetto Flint style with wheels to wide and tires too small!
