Choosing a new tire
#23
Boy, I have done a fair amount of research here and cannot find out if you have a 7" or 8" wheel, but guessing 8". You have 235/55/17 tires and you will not be able to run as wide as a 275 on your existing wheels. I see a 245/50/17" wheel that will fit either a 7" or 8" wheel, so that is an option.
The only way to run a 275 is purchase wider wheels. You can see your basic max size options near the top of this page.

I was told that they were 17x9 wheels
Nevermind. I walked outside and took a look at my wheels/tires and realized that my 235 pirellis are actually a little big for my wheel. No way are they 17x9.

Ha ha.....
A little closer than I wanted, but is enough to say you are running an 8" wheel for sure. This means, a 245 is really all you are gonna be able to fit on your existing wheels.

I was hoping that they were 17x9 though. Would have loved some 275/40/17s.

We do... it is called Post your aftermarket wheels
As for different size tires on wheels, there is really not a whole lot of variable and retain a proper fitment. More often than not, one puts too wide a tire for a wheel and can result in poor turn-in response in the least and major safety concerns in the extreme.

PS. Thanks
