You can do it but the rim band will be more exposed and it will look odd.
A 255-265 will help but a 275 is what's recommended and what will look best. Not to mention that the 275/40 will be the right height where as you will need an odd aspect ratio with the 255 or 265 size.

I just bought a set of 17x8's and some BFG DR's, 275/40's for them
I'll be stretching mine too. I'm an idoit.

No, you'll be squeezing them onto the rim.

I just wanted to get new wheels and don't want to get new tires yet (just bought some less than 2k miles ago). And I cant find any cool mustang wheels in 17x8...
