Your opinion is wrong. They are not unsafe.
TONS of people drive on 275/40/17's on a 8" rim.
Nobody has had any failures because of it either.

I had MT's, so I never really got on it in the corners. They didn't feel that great around corners any time.

I actually just got 275/40/17 on my stock rims in the rear. I'm not sure if its the rim width or the cheap falken tires, but the car does not seem stable anymore at 100+ on the highway. So if you not road racing 100+ your fine.

I've been running 275/40 in the rears for years and I've never had a problem, not even in the corners. Get good tires and you won't have problems like that.
